How can I change DVD player regional settings more than 4 times?

[watchmainspring]

I watch American and german movies, and it says I can only switch between regions four times. What's up with that? Is there a hack or some program i can use to avoid this nonsense?

There are some region free firmwares out there that work with Pioneer drives, I don't know about other brands.

Alternatively you could try ripping all your movies to HD
