Play Foreign Region DVDs with VLC!!

I’m sure that you have been told about the benefits of VLC Media Player, a very versatile player that plays almost all codecs (except RM), but I bet that you didn’t know it could play DVDs from foreign regions.

Yes, in fact it all happens so smoothly that I have been overlooking it for months. I have been comfortably playing DVDs from regions 1,2 and 5 without any hiccups. When one day, I tried running one of them without VLC Media Player installed on my computer it asked for changing my DVD drive’s region, which I had not encountered for a while, so I switched back to VLC and everything worked perfectly.

So, moral of the story, no need to search for software (mostly crap-ware) to play these DVDs when you can get the job done with some awesome freeware!
