Hi,
We are implementing a CALL lab with computers potentially equipped with dvd drives to enable to teachers/student to watch DVDs.
The concern I have is that PCs are generally equipped with region-locked DVD-Drives and our DVDs are purchased from different areas of the world by our teachers.
If we were to find a firmware patch for the brand of our DVD drives, could we legally unlock the regions restrictions?
Another option would of course would be to find a RPC1 (region unlocked) DVD- drive. ( Are there any on the market?)
Thank you for your reply
Regards
