New to the DVD stuff, so forgive me if I ask the obvious (it obviously isn't obvious to me).
Maybe this is an issue for those over in Europe or in a different region than the US, but for those of us here in the US, exactly what is there to gain by downloading a region hack? It seems to be such a major issue and such a majorly desired hack that is seems I may be missing something...
In addition, after reading countless posts concerning the software player supplied by Matrox, seems that the player decoder is pretty outdated. Seems strange, since I just bought my Max less than two months ago. I can't find an update on Matrox's site, although I can find updates to newer decoders for the Ravensent stuff all over the web. Why doesn't Matrox make this stuff easily available (I did have to search for quite a while...)
Lastly, there is a version of the decoder (1.0.28) that supposedly disables Macrovision. Since I consider Macrovision almost as evil as Bill Gates, was wondering if anyone has tried this decoder with the Matrox player. Seems to me the version number is awfully old, and I tire of blue screens after fixing computers all day for a living.
Any info will be assimilated and put to good use...Thks...
