Thanks for the feedback. Last year d'Az wrote:

"AnyDVD does not allow you with Matsushita (Panasonic) drives to watch or copy a CSS protected disc, which has a different region then the drive, unless you have a patched firmware."

Has anyone had success installing patched firmware to get around the region code problem? If so, could you point me in the right direction where to find the correct firmware and what to be cautious of. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm very keen have this dvd drive work and not have to replace it.

Cheers!
