I was looking to purchase Hamburger Hill on blue ray. The only problem is that the only way that i know how you can get it is purchasing a region b. I live in North America which is a region A. I was wondering if i would purchase it could i back it up with fab and it would remove the region code so i could play this in my blue ray player at home? I figured a region b wouldn't play in my player.

I'm no BR expert but from reading you should be fine removing the region code.How to post the internal log

Signals,
Just for clarification in essence you are saying that DVDFab will remove the region code during backup and make the backup region free? Just that some drives won't play it back regardless and others will? I thought the region restrictions for blu-rays were enforced by the java?
In my case im not worried about the optical drive playback since i convert and stream my movies via a media center but more concerned that the region encoded will be removed and thus allow me play how i want to play it

Just got the movie today. I was able to back up the movie.I did a main movie only backup. Fab removed the region code and i was able to play the backup movie on my blue ray player. Was happy to see that it played. I also tried to play the original in my player just to see if it would play knowing it probably wouldn't because of the region code difference and yes it would not play in my blue ray player. I have a Lg Blue Ray burner that i have for my optical drive. Not sure if that helps or not. I know the administrator said some drives will not play no matter if you have fab or passkey. Thanks everyone for your replies.

Thanks for the info! That pretty much proves that the data on the disk is all the same, just the region code is the difference. I've also read that a very few have a 50 hertz frequency versus 60, but that only makes the audio higher/lower pitched upon playback. Good information!How to post the internal log

Nice to know for such instances such as this, where you can not buy that disc in this region.

Can DVD Fab help with these two issues?
Thanks

As long as you know that this thread deals with Blu-Ray discs only. If the originals are BR then just back them up and they should play in either country.How to post the internal log

DVDFab 9.0.4.5 BR Copy

So, I said to myself, "so what, I'll just make a DVDFab9 backup." I put that disc into the player and same result. The region java code was not stripped/replaced, so the disc still would not play.
So, what does it take to get DVDFab9 to make a backup without the region checking Java code? Obviously the Java code can't be removed, otherwise the programming would break. But modifying the code so that it returns a value that indicates the disc can be played can be done, I hope.

A 1080i50 video will easily play in a standalone player anywhere in the world (depending on region coding), as the player will negotiate with the display, via the HDMI connection, as to whether the display can handle 1080i50 video as is, or if not, the player will convert to 1080i59.94. Not sure what happens when a component connection is used.
If a disc is played in a computer, it will display at the native frame rate.
There is no speedup or slowdown with HD playback.
