I have used this software for a long time. I buy DVDs from Amazon US and I live in europe.
With this software I can switch back and forth regions smoothly. My iMac allways asks for right region for some reason. With Region X I do not have to worry regions and the amount of chanching times that Apple gives to user. ;-P

It IS necessary to have the ability to switch regions even if your hardware drive is region free (RPC1). This is because whichever software player that you are using cannot always distinguish which type of DVD you are trying to play - SOME DVDs are what has been termed 'smart disks'. These disks (with for instance RCE protection) will not always play even on an unregioned player such as VLC without specifying the CORRECT REGION - You just get a notice come up saying that the wrong region has been selected. What has happened is that the software player has been told by the DVD that the 'wrong region notice' is actually the movie itself! Not very entertaining huh? So this software is designed to solve the problem by allowing you to select the region. Apparently this is best done by hand BEFORE the movie is played.

This software changes the software region setting so that you can use programs such as Apple's DVD Player. Having a region free drive doesn't mean that your software doesn't check for a region in your preferences.

If you have a region-free drive, why do you need to change regions?

We owe much to xvi - Version: 1.0.7, 2/2/2004 09:40AM PST

Yes, I feel that the Mac community owes so much to xvi. He has fought for region -free and fair use, etc for such a long time now. It's just such a shame that no one has picked up where he left off as far as the firmware is concerned. Even though he is retired as far as the firmware is goes, I just wanted xvi to know that he is greatly appreciated for what he's done in the past for the Mac community. Thank you!
Also, Region X works beautifully and always has with my Region Free drives.
