Run your Region "A" & "B" Discs on a standalone Blu-ray Player - Blu-ray Forum

Blu-Style · 02-01-2008, 01:52 PM

Hi,

I don´t know if this has been discussed, but I thought I should throw this in here If you don´t know...

You can easily run your Region "A" & "B" Discs on a standalone Blu-ray Player.
(At least I got the confirmation for the Samsung BDP1000)

You just have to change your Firmware all the time. (US<>EU)

I´m curious if this works with all Blu-ray players...

Does anybody know / tried it ?

im prittey sure only sammy would make a msitake llike that

I don´t know if I would count this as a mistake, but it´s nice.

Now you can watch your Region A&B Blu-ray´s until someone figures out how to unlock the regioncode.

Nothing New There My Friend My Brother Been Doing This For Almost A Year Now.

What kind of player does your brother use ?

A BDP1000 ?

or does it work with (almost) every Blu-ray Player ?

Yes BDP1000 But My Brother Friend Has BDP1400 And It Works The Same As The BDP1000.

Seems like to much effort to switch between movies

I guess the most people here have Region "A" Disc´s...
and for those few Europe discs...
Well,... you can handle it.

At least you have the chance to do it...
Better than not watching them.

Nice!

Mermen79 · 02-01-2008, 09:50 PM

Too bad you can't do this on the PS3.

aygie · 02-01-2008, 10:03 PM

couldn't imagine it being too good for the machine, no?

Don´t know why this should cause any problems.
I guess you don´t change the firmware every 5mins...

thinking about it if its not flashing anything then in theroy it should ok.

http://www.dvdirect.net/ or you could buy one of these

Blu-Style · 02-02-2008, 12:00 AM

I would buy a foreign / (codefree) Blu-ray Player, but they are to expensive right now.

I´m still hoping that someone figures out how to unlock the region code on the PS3...
(That would be the optimal solution)

Too bad no new firmware's been released for my SAMSUNG 1200, either, considering it was due on 2 Feb 08. At LEAST you can watch Region A movies that have been released to date on your PS3. It's great I have the option of watching Region B... but it's not the reason I bought my boat anchor/door stop of a player.

Well yeah perhaps if you have 50% Region A discs and 50% Region B discs, it would be a hassle.

However if you have like only a few Region B discs it seems like this is still a good way to play them rather then just blankly stare at them while not being able to play them at all, had you a player that only plays Region A.

When ever I update my RA BD-P1000 with the RB FW all I get is a black screen.
