Regionless DVD Players for Mac OS X?

spooje would like to get to the core of the following issue: "Since a new Rochester DVD only store, Global DVD, just opened up with a large Asian section I decided to rent several. When I got home and popped one in my Mac (Sawtooth G4 running Mac OS X 10.2) it brought up a dialog box telling me the DVD was region 3. I could switch to region 3 mode, but I could only do this 4 more times. Since my DVD-RAM drive is supposed to be all region does anyone know of a workaround or patch for the Apple DVD player, or maybe even another DVD player for Mac OS X?" If this question sounds familiar, then it might be because, last week, Ask Slashdot ran a similar article, which focused on a Windows utility which did this.

Sitting inches in front of my Apple's 15" LCD provided what I thought was the best DVD viewing experience. Alone.

You're single, aren't you?

IMO, the "best DVD viewing experiences" I've had have been on a comfortable couch, watching a movie I'm not particularly interested in, with someone I'm very interested in sitting beside me.
