I have an IBM Aptiva pc with a Pioneer DVD 115 DVD player. I am in dvd region 4 but have recently purchased some region 1 dvd's and want to play them on the pc. Is there any free software that will allow me to select the region of the dvd I am watching when I put the disc in? My pc only allows me to select a region a limited number of times and then the pc is set to this region for good. Thanks.

I have the Pioneer DVD-115.
You need a firmware upgrade. This is not an easy thing. In fact, mine had the original firmware and can not be updated at all. I'm stuck. But if you have the newer firmware, you can flash it regionless.

Beware - flashing the firmware can go wrong so bad the drive becomes useless.

See

They have an FAQ and a message board where people are very helpful with the lengthy process.
