I had been using DVD43 cheapie freeware as a workround for region protection 
on my last HTPC.  The new one I foolishly installed Windows x64 on, and 
dvd43 doesn't want to know.

I've established that AnyDVD will work, but at $50 it seems a bit costly, 
also it's a sledgehammer to crack a nut.  I'm not really in any hurry to run 
any dodgy keygens, and would rather find a legit solution if poss - anybody 
got any ideas?

TIA
