That sounds very encouraging for Riley, Mark! Very cool. I don't want to know what their "enabler" represents. <g>

what do you mean by that Ken?

You might be able to use iDVD without upgrading your computer. Read Mark's message.

right right, but maybe i missed it, but i was asking you abou the part where you said you dont want to know what the "enabler" represents,

I'm sure that Apple doesn't authorize "enablers" to bypass its restrictions. I wonder how long it will take for them to subvert it. Perhaps by the next version of iDVD.

My understanding of the restriction is, it's in the firmware of the Pioneer DVD units. Pioneer has released 4 or 5 firmware updates and Apple has released none. It's rumored that Apple has tracked down unauthorized firmware updates via the sites that post them. The updates also remove the region restrictions, but they also improve proformance and reliability of the drive.
