* Program Information:

I've seen a lot of people on alt.video.dvd.software asking how to
remove the region counter from various software decoder.
This program attempts to do this.

If you have any comments about this program, please E-Mail me at:

yaron@earthling.net

Also, if you have DVDs you're tired of i would gladly accept them
(especially if they are from different regions, as i would like to test
that all regions work correctly), feel free to contact me (if you are
interested in sending them in).

* Why isn't DVD Express supported by DVD Region Selector?

DVD Express is region coded, i believe it uses a file
called "allnode.dll" in cooperation with the windows 98
and it's own registry setting to enforce one region.

You may be able to bypass this manually by grabbing
"allnode.dll" and "allnode.reg" from the various
region installation packages, and manually change
the regions.  However, i have yet to verify this (don't
have a region 1 installation).

A note, when the Xing DVD v2.xx player is installed,
it somehow breaks the DVD Express authentication code
so that the Xing code overrides it.  This is useful
as it allows you to use DVD Express under any region
as long as the Xing region is set accordingly.

* Why isn't SoftDVD supported by DVD Region Selector?

Like DVD Express, SoftDVD is coded internally for
a specific region.  Not only that, it wouldn't even
work on my system (probably some windows 98 incompatibility).
