Installed Parallels and AnyDVD / VLC / Media Player do not work. The drive is totally locked down. So what possible excuse can a computer maker have for doing this? That'll be because they are in the entertainment business and need the cash from the likes of Warner. I have a player downstairs that witha keypress or two will play any region (I mistakenly thought the PS3 was DVD region-free and it is not, just games) so it looks like I get Mark Sloan on the big screen. All the more to enjoy. A region 0 ext dvd player might be handy though. VLC on the mini does not work.

From reading the various forums it appears to be pretty locked down. The next trick is to try Windows through Parallels - not sure how hard that checks the firmware and there are always ways around things on Windows. Like the cddb mp3 tool too - free and does more than any mac program can do. Still, I do like the mini :) I think I tried that before and it wanted to check.

Should do the trick as I don’t think it bothers about the region.
