So yeah, it has become more expensive, but I've never once had a blu-ray it wouldn't "crack". I don't use it to make copies though, but to beat the HDMI-DRM crap that prevents my monitor from displaying it...


It's currently over $150. For that price, you have plenty of other options.

Yeah, it's overpriced big time now. A lifetime fee for DVD Profiler is under $30 in comparison.

It is a bit much but for me was worth it to get screen caps. I paid around $130 a couple years ago for the lifetime subscription.

Mods for standalone Blu-Ray players provide region select only. That way you can change the region to answer what the disc wants to play its content.

You can get pre-modded players from jvbdigital.com.

You can also use AnyDVD to "remove" a region and use ImgBurn to burn a BD-RE/DL or BD-R/DL. What this does is patch the disc's Java code so that the disc always "thinks" it's in a player with the region you select in AnyDVD's settings. That confuses a lot of people... if they're in region "A" they just select "A" in settings... that's wrong. If it's a region B locked disc, the resulting copy will always "think" it's in a region A player, and will never play anything, ever. So, in AnyDVD settings, always select the region that matches the disc, if automatic detection doesn't work (which is often, since region checking routines can vary greatly, and be simple or complex). Note that removing a region patches Java, which in turn deactivates BD-Live. No way around that.

I've looked into pre-modded players. I've never seen one cheaper than just buying two players (I don't really need region C). I also don't need to make copies or anything. I just need to play region A & B Blu-ray. Am I correct in understanding that installing two different software players if sufficient for this?
