One more thing (thanx to |GeNiUs| for reminding me), new RPC-2 drives will 
have no region code set. Without any region beeing set, those drives will 
refuse to authenticate ANY encrypted DVD.
The linux libs will _not_ change or set the region on a drive.

A tool to query and set the region code can be found at:
