Does VLC ignore region checking for BluRay discs

Postby jchannon » 26 Oct 2010 12:09

I know BluRay movies are set to Region A,B,C however I believe it is up to the bluray software to check for the region and not the firmware of the drive. Therefore does VLC play bluray discs from any region or do you still need something like AnyDVD HD to bypass the region?

VLC doesn't play full Blu-Rays yet.
Still, it will not enforce the regions.
