what you need to do is decrypt it completly. so then you have the vob files with no regioning or css so that you can burn it to a dvd disc with no region. this will be able to play in your dvd player. i have yet to come accross a dvd burner that can burn a dvd with css and regioning but if it plays and it has no region i dont think you have a problem. :D _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
