I'm a forum novice, sorry for any lack of decorum. The comments on this topic are very helpful but they're several months old. Have there been any advances in region code get arounds with Matshita drives? I have a UJ 840D new vaio laptop, I watch mostly region 1 and 2 dvds, and I don't really want to buy an external dvd drive if I don't have to. :-(

Cheers for any help.

John
