FREE "BD Region Killer"

Hello,

1. On http://forum.slysoft.com/misc.php?do...chments&t=6403 , you will find four Blu-Ray Region-Reset Keys for "PowerDVD Ultra." Download and unzip the .ZIP folder.

2. Set a Blu-Ray Region in "PowerDVD" (usually the Region of your country). The counter will tell you that you have 4 more changes. Now the Registry value is no longer empty. Close PowerDVD.

3. Double-click on one of the four Reset Keys.

The "RegionA/B/C" Keys will BOTH set a new Blu-Ray Region (A, B, or C) AND set the counter to 99,999 changes;
the "RegionX" Key will only set the counter to 99,999 WITHOUT changing the current Blu-Ray Region.

When asked whether the information of the Key should be added to the Registry, click on "Yes."

4. Restart "PowerDVD." Go to Region. You should have 99,999 changes now and can change the Blu-Ray Regions either in PowerDVD itself or with the Reset Keys (for the Keys, PowerDVD must be closed and restarted). Remember every time you use the Reset Keys, the counter will be set to 99,999 (for example, you can use the "RegionX" Key once a week/month to make sure that you will never run out of changes).

5. For more comfort, install a "PowerDVD" desktop icon in the Reset Key folder. Then you can start the player after resetting the counter.

Enjoy and many greetings,

A Pal

Thanks, didn't solve my problem

I ripped "Rising Sun" (UK) Blu-Ray to Hard disk without setting the "remove region coding" in AnyDVD HD
Now when I try to play it says, "This disk has been coded for region A or B and will not play in this machine" even though powerDVD is now set to region B.

I suspect I will have to rip it again, and remove the region coding.

Hi,

Yes, I think so. As their name says, the Reset Keys ONLY RESET the Blu-Ray counter of PowerDVD or CHANGE the Region, they DO NOT REMOVE THE REGION CHECK ITSELF! They only help you WATCH Blu-Ray discs from different Regions, but NOT COPY them. Use the Region-removing options of AnyDVD while ripping.

Good luck and many greetings,

A Pal

If you still have the original, just put it in the drive, set AnydvdHD to region free and just copy over the index.bdmv, and the movieobject.bdmv files, and replace the ones in your original rip with these, always works for me

Thanks Adbear
That worked but only if I DESELECTED remove region in Slysoft
"Rising Sun" UK region B could not be played if any attempt was made to remove region coding.

For some titles AnyDVD also has to remove the region coding from the JAR files. If that's such a disk, copying only movieobjects.bdmv won't do.
Also: does this disc contain any files in the \CERTIFICATE folder?
If so, please let me know, thanks.

I copied movieobjects and index with "remove region" deselected
I couldn't play "Rising Sun" from the Blu-Ray disk or from the hard drive rip if I had ticked the remove region option in AnyDVD HD

There is an empty folder called BACKUP in the certificate directory.

So, did you try to also copy the files in the JAR folder? These frequently have region coding as well, so they also have to be de-regioned.
