By| Dec 22,2017 18:28 pm Due to the strict law, you are not able to play different region DVD on your computer. Every DVD player (that includes the one in your computer) is sold being able to play only discs with the same region as the country it was sold in. Download vlc for mac 10.4. That includes Macs too, sort of.
I recommend downloading VLC, an open-source media player that sometimes circumvents region encoding. The DVD drives on different computers (including various Macs) come from diverse manufacturers.
On a new Mac, the DVD drive is automatically locked to the DVD region code that is first used. From then on, this can only be changed four more times. You pretty much have two choices — either find the DVD region code that you'll be using the most and set it to that one (since the four times are going to be used up sooner or later) — or 'flash' your drive to make the DVD player in different regions, which goes with the risk of destroying the drive. Below are tips to play different region DVD on Mac (macOS sierra, EL Capitan, Yosemite and Mavericks included).
• Insert a DVD into your Mac that has a different region code than the one your DVD drive is set to. • If you haven’t reached the 5 maximum DVD region change limit, you’re asked whether you want to change the DVD region. Choose a region that matches the DVD region. If you’re not asked to change your DVD region and the DVD plays, your DVD drive is already set to a compatible DVD region for that disc. If the DVD drive reaches the maximum number of changes, DVDs that don’t have a compatible DVD region code are ejected.
