Is there anything that can play any region DVD on a Mac?

Thanks for that (I did know that my laptop would lock after several Region changes). I thought the great thing about the VLC player was that it could play other region discs in this sort of case or did I get that wrong?
Also what is flashing?

I have never changed my optical drive from any other Region than 2. Whenever I have been asked to change regions(which also says I have 4 more times in which I can change my Region before it locks), I cancel the request so my laptop shouldn't be locked on one Region.

I get the below error message whenever I try to play certain DVDs from Regions other than what my laptop is set to (Region 2): vcd: search for kIOCDMediaClass came up empty vcd: failed to get the TOC vcd: no movie tracks found access_file: file /dev/rdisk1 is empty, aborting cdda: search for kIOCDMe...
