Does anybody know how to make a DVD player multiregion? Isn't there some sort of code I can use? If you know where I can find such a code, please let me know.

You have to get it chipped, man -- just like the old days when you would chip your PSX or SuperNES or whatever so you could play import games from Japan etc. But even then, it's just not worth it. The price of a DVD player these days is about the same price as the chipset.
With that said, there are *some* DVD players that are already multi-region, but that code needs to be deactivated. It's normally the weirdest set of button selections, but it is possible. My Daewoo isn't listed as multi-region, but if I type in a code on the remote, it magically turns into multi-region.
As far as I know though, there's not many DVD players that have the region free code built in 'secretly' -- it's either region free or not. Best thing to do is to check your model number and brand out on google. There are a ton of geek sites out there where the nerds have cracked the code for all these DVD players. Sometimes you find yours on the list...

I have a region-free, ntsc/pal player for the tv but on the computer I use Remote Selector, works like a charm.

I think it's stupid how my computer DVD drives can only changed regions like 4 times before the thing implodes itself. What the fuck is up with that? Why are there such weird limitations?
D'oh well, the only DVDs I've wanted are region 0 and 1 anyhow. So far.... [/ominously]

Here , most are region free , "secretly" or not ; talk to any guy in the shop he'll tell you the code to unlock the security thing
I suspect OMGMAGICPROGRAMS to ruin the PC security thing too . Don't know any though. I think I can change ONCE
I found a "secret" code for mine, but I need a different remote. So I'm out of luck. I just can't believe I can't watch a region 0 DVD. Does anybody have any recommendations for a new DVD player?

I guess so. But I can play every other DVD I've ever had. But the region 0 is the only one that won't play. It's also the only region 0 I've ever tried.

Yeah that makes no sense at all. The whole point of Region 0 is that it's region free. Any DVD player in the world can play it, without any modification.
