All it needs is a little VLC
Phil South - October 27, 2006
VLC is the best cross platform media player for both PC and Mac. It’s special because not only does it play a fair few different types of media, but it also allows you for the most part to circumvent region coding on DVDs. Yes it true, on the Mac version if you have any DVDs which are region 1 and your drive is hard coded to region 2 you can actually play it.
Okay so sometimes the DVD menus don’t work properly, but they do mostly work, which is more than you can say for other media players and region coded DVDs. Hmm.
The program is very useful for playing files which won’t play elsewhere, it is VERY forgiving, and even plays subtitle formats which makes viewing divx movies in foreign languages all the more doable.
VLCis available for many platforms (some you will be aware of and some you may never have heard of) and is obtainable over at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/. Respect due.
