people looking for hacks are trying to play (for example) region b movies on a region a player. the hack will make the player region free, not the blu ray. your first post was about playing a region free movie. dont get them mixed up.

Here is a Map of blu-ray region codes:



If you are in Region A, you can only play a disc that is region A or is region free. Region free means that anyone, in any region, can use it in their players.

Many members want to get a region free player so they can buy blu-rays from anywhere and not worry about the coding. This is desire to get a region free player is fueled by these ideas:
1- Not all movies are available in your region
2- Not all movies have the same transfer quality in every region
3- They may be cheaper to buy from another region, including shipping, then going to the store to buy it.

Here is one place to buy region free players:

Search for the titles here and look at the region information. If the item has been released for a few weeks, it will usually have region information.

So, is there a way to remove the region coding from the disc itself instead of getting a region free player? I believe this is possible for DVD's.

No.

I think AnyDVD HD can do it. If you are burning a copy.

But that requires having something that will let you rip it.

AnyDVD HD is a ripper. It can rip any DVD or BD.

This is correct, one could rip it and burn it without a region code, however that wasn't his question. His question was if you can strip a BD of a region code, which you cannot.
