Need Help On Obtaining a Region Free Blu-Ray (GERMANY)

[Uber Fett]

Ok...just spent a few hours online and not being the most computer savvy...I decided to look here for some help.

I'm looking for a region free Blu Ray Operation Walküre - Das Stauffenberg-Attentat (Cruise's Valkyrie in German).

I thought they stopped this region BS with the Blu-rays. But, nope...when I got my DVD today...sure enough...motherfrakin' thing is region coded.

So, if anyone could help me here, I would be greatful!

Blu-ray or DVD? Many DVD players can be rendered region free with a flash or a few clicks on the remote, Blu-ray players on the other hand are a little harder and require hardware mods...

IMO the easiest is to rip in and strip the region coding...

I have the movie on Blu-Ray. I wouldn't have the first clue how to rip in and remove the code. If you point me in the right direction...and by pointing me in the right direction I mean explain in very specific details what the hell I'm supposed to do. :lol

By your post I'm not sure if it is a stand-alone player or a computer blue-ray drive. If it's a PC blue-ray player/drive. AnyDVD-HD will remove the region coding and copyright protections so you can screen grab (may have to navigate to the BRD > BDMV folder > Stream folder and drag the files to play & capture if its Cyberlink BR-HD playback software)

Well, I do have a DVD (non blu-ray) player on the ole pornloader. But I have a Sony Blu Ray player BDP-S360. It's my understanding that the BR player itself can be manipulated into playing any region. Anyone know how to "manipulate" such a thing????

I recently discovered that a lot of BD disks, unlike DVD are not region coded. There are websites where they are tested and most of them will play on any player, regardless of region. I bought several BD's when I went to NY last year and they all worked fine on my Sharp Aquos player. A friend ordered the Dragon's Lair BD and despite the claims of the seller that it was region coded, it played perfectly fine.

It may not help in this case, as it says region locked here http://bluray.liesinc.net/, but it could help people looking for a certain disk.

Ok...anyone have a blu-ray player on their computer that can unlock that frackin' code?

Here´s a simple instruction on how to make your bd player regionfree :

This one worked on a BDP-S360 bought in the USA:

1) Make sure there is no disc in tray
2) Press the "HOME" key on the Sony BDP remote control
3) Press number keys "1389310"
4) Power off.

Now try a non-region 1 dvd.

VERY good site, that.
I recently re-flashed my PC's DVD drive and use DVD43 to counter the Windows stuff.

Well it's not like you just unlock it, the code is embedded in the video stream and needs to be ripped from the stream, then you would need to reauthor the Blu-Ray...

DVDs are much easier as there are usually simple ways to defeat it with a few remote codes...

In the end I have to asked why you need to play the German release, do you simply want the German audio or is there something else different? If playing more German releases is in your future may I suggest you simply get a German (region B) Blu-ray player or a hardware hacked region free one, as it will be the most convenient solution...

If playing them on the computer is your goal, it's a little easier as there are software packages that will enable you to rip the disc to the hard drive region free for playback pretty painlessly...

In the end region free DVD is easy, most of the hacks out there only remove the DVD region from the Blu-ray players, it generally take a mod chip or hardware hack to by pass the Blu-ray disc region checks...
