I don't think you can make it any "stronger". If a player doesn't have a region chip, it won't matter what kind of region code is on it. DVD-ROM and DVD Video software are different standards. I suppose the hardware is as well. But, a DVD-ROM drive in your computer does not usually have a region chip in it, although some playback software does. Anywho, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? And as Cartman would say, "French people piss me off!"

: Warner Brothers *is* tweaking with the coding, making it stronger, to
: prevent such multi-region players as you mentioned. A multi-region player
: would no longer be able to play a Super-WB-Region 1 disc, only true region
: one players would be able to.
: And I must say that DVD-ROM and DVD Video are two seperate standards. I do
: not believe that DVD-ROMs carry any such regional coding, but a DVD player
: that sits in a computer has the same regional restrictions that a player
: that sits on top of your TV does for playing DVD Video. Everyone I have
: come across does.
: Finally, I also hate Europeans. Except the British, their kooky accents
: make me laugh. I love those blokes!
: Scott.
