Hello,
I talked about the solution to this problem implemented at St. Lawrence 
University at CALICO in May in Ottawa.  Here are some links from that 
presentation.  These focus on a long-term fix that renders the DVD-ROM 
region free permanently (several different  options for accomplishing this).
