PB titanium + encrypted DVDs + Jaguar

[Charles Ravussin]

ok, I hope you're wrong here :) that would mean it's *impossible* for 
me to watch *any* DVD that is not zone 2.. Unless I find a way to reset 
the drive. There is an app made by a guy called XVI that's supposed to 
reset your drive (vendor reset) (www.firmware.fr.st). Didnt work for 
me. I would really like to use the VLC route here...
