Blu-ray Region Code Remover 2.5 - 22-Nov-2008
- Fixed an error ("Extra data contains Zip64 information but version 2.0 is not high enough") which was happening
when the program tried to process .jar files with Zip64 extentions. The error was caused by SharpZipLib.dll.
Had to modify SharpZipLib's code and compile a custom .dll in order to fix this problem.
- Started using the same key and certificate for signing .jar files (previously the key was generated anew every time).
This is also the same key and certificate used by AnyDVD HD for the purpose of .jar file signing (Thanks, Peer!).
- Added an option to fix downloaded BD-Live content in BD-Live cache folders. As the program uses the same key as AnyDVD HD
for signing .jar files, you can use this feature for BD-Live enabled discs ripped or modified on-the-fly with AnyDVD HD
(please refer to Fix_BD-Live.txt for more information).
- Minor user interface changes.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Blu-ray Region Code Remover" - a program to remove Blu-ray region code from Blu-ray rips.
This program removes Blu-ray region code from Blu-ray rips on a hard disk drive to allow playback regardless of region setting of the player.
(To copy a Blu-ray disc to hard drive, please use Blu-ray Disc Ripper (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=129663).)
The program supports removing of region code from Blu-ray titles which check the region of the player by means of BDMV script,
and Java-enabled titles which check the region by BD-J script as well.
The program also allows removing of Prohibited User Operations (PUOs) to provide better user experience while navigating movies.
The program is written in Visual Basic and requires Windows Vista or Windows XP with .NET Framework 2.0 to run.
http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/2369/blurayregioncoderemoverdx3.png
Change Log (up to Version 2.4):
06-May-2008 - Version 2.4
- Implemented signing of .jar archives with certificates.
- The program now recreates .jar archives, which it has modified, from scratch using SharpZipLib. This fixes the problem with some titles (e.g. "Independence Day", UK) which contain .jar files in some odd zip format.
- Changed the program so that now it will not attempt to modify 'sly/SlyReg.class' file in .jar archives. Thus .jar files modified by AnyDVD will not be modified again.
- Removed a check and warning message which required the selected folder to be a Blu-ray movie folder for "Create Logfile" button to work. You can now use this button to create a comprehensive list of files and subfolders in selected folder.
05-Apr-2008:
Version 2.3: Added an option to remove Prohibited User Operations (PUOs) from Blu-ray titles.
03-Apr-2008:
Version 2.1: Fix for "Blu-ray Region Code Remover" overriding BD+ related modifications in MovieObject.bdmv file, made by AnyDVD.
Note: This bug only affects titles which were ripped with AnyDVD 6.4.0.0 or later with "Remove BD+ protection" option enabled and which have both BD+ and region check by MovieObject.bdmv, like "Live Free Or Die Hard". If you used "Blu-ray Region Code Remover" to remove region code from such titles, please copy MovieObject.bdmv file from the original disc (with AnyDVD enabled) to movie's BDMV folder on a hard drive and then run "Blu-ray Region Code Remover" again.
31-Mar-2008: Version 2.0 released. It does not use 'classes.zip' file anymore. It includes java .class file parser and supports removing of region code from ALL BD-Java titles, as well as ALL BDMV titles.
26-Mar-2008: Updated 'classes.zip' file to support "I, Robot" (US).
25-Mar-2008: Updated 'classes.zip' file to support "Independence Day" (US), "Independence Day" (UK), "Die Hard 3" (US) (and possibly some other titles).

Hello, SuperGoof,
Here are some suggestions for your program "Blu-ray Region Code Remover 1.0":
1. Please also add the possibility to remove DVD Regions and RCE from DVD ripped to harddisk.
Like that, the program could become "Disc Region Code Remover," useful for BOTH DVDs AND BDs
2. As far as I know (I have no BD discs / drive to test it), the commercial players do not play Blu-ray discs from harddisk, so please add a "Preview" option (with full screen and audio) that could also support Region-DVDs, so that the program can be used as a simple player.
3. You could add the rip option of your "Blu-Ray Disc Ripper" and a rip option for Region-DVDs, so the program could be a player AND a ripper.
On the Internet, there are also discussions about the development of a new BD player which should be free and not Region-locked.
The authors of The KMPlayer ( http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/index.php ) say if there were any free BD filters, they could be added to KMP without any problems (Because of its many features, KMP would be the perfect basic player). Wouldn't this be an interesting challenge?
Many greetings, :)

FreeDVD only removes DVD protections. It does not remove BD protections, and does not rip discs (neither DVDs nor BDs) to harddisk.
I think if these option were added to the Blu-Ray Region Code Remover, we would have ONE program for BOTH BDs AND DVDs.

Free DVD removes several protections from a DVD folder on the hard disk. It removes region code (RC), region code enhancement (RCE), analog copy protection, and user operation prohibitions (UOPs).

This is strange. I have this disc too (I used your logfile though when I was implementing it's support). I have just copied most of the files (excluding huge .m2ts streams) to the hard drive and set PowerDVD to Region C. When I opened the folder in PowerDVD (I use version 3319a), it showed a screen "Please use Region A player etc.". Then I ran "Blu-ray Region Code Remover", which removed the region code. Now PowerDVD starts playing the folder just fine. No errors whatsoever. So I think the error you are receiving is due to something else. Did you use UDF 2.5 while creating .iso?

Just a observation.
The thread you reference http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=122283 is incorrect.
The function shown there when removed will remove the region check, however this is not the root function of the region check.
Its just code specific to that title.
The root function which requests the region from the player (and this will always be a constant, no matter what movie) is RegisterAccess.getInstance().getPSR(20) which is an integer containing the region.

I actually do not do exactly what is suggested in that thread. I do not target .class files with the main function, which checks the region. Instead I target .class files which contain region check functions called by that main function. You can see this if you open my classes.zip file and have a look at class files there and index.xml file. When I was developing this, the only title I had was "Fantastic Four 2". It had those region check functions in 'com/panasonic/common/theatre/LocalBDPlayer.class' file in 00001.jar archive. I thought that maybe such files are reused from title to title, and one such file recompiled for 3 regions and included in my database will cover many titles. Now I understand that it was rather naive to think that, and I still end up with title-by-title work. But anyway, this is better than nothing. The main thing is that there is infrastructure in place and support for new titles can easily be added.

I think I figured out why this happened. Latest versions of AnyDVD make modifications to MovieObject.bdmv file to remove some BD+ related info, yet when my program modifies this file, it first copies the original version from the BACKUP folder, then does region code related modifications, and thus it overrides those BD+ related changes in this file. The fix is coming soon.
Thanks a lot for your post and the log file. They were very helpful indeed.
EDIT: By the way, to fix this, just copy MovieObject.bdmv file from disc (with AnyDVD enabled) to movie's BDMV folder on a hard drive after you run "Blu-ray Region Code Remover".

No, why should it modify files in the BACKUP folder? They are not used for playback anyway. Also, I would still prefer the BACKUP to have the original version of this file.
AnyDVD sometimes guesses wrong about the region in 'Automatic' mode, and after region code modifications are made in movieobject.bdmv, it is not possible to apply them again using different region. That is why I was first copying this file from the BACKUP folder in the first place.
3r1c
2nd April 2008, 07:58
Because the backup file is a backup, not an alternate version.
Its so if the disc is damage and the player cant read the main file it will try to read the backup.
The "backup" folder is not a anydvd invention to backup the original, the backup folder is part of the blu-ray specification, they are supposed to be the same.
SuperGoof
2nd April 2008, 08:06
In my opinion, it is useless part of the specification. If main movieobject.bdmv is damaged, there is a big likelihood that large part of useful content on disc is damaged as well, even if movieobject.bdmv in the BACKUP folder is intact.

@|nitrogen|
Actually, now I'm not sure. I mean, the problem does exist and the fix is coming, but it should only affect movies which have both BD+ and region check by MovieObject.bdmv, like "Live Free Or Die Hard", for example. In case of your movie the region check is done by BD-Java script, and my program does not modify MovieObject.bdmv, unless you select "Restore the original region code" option. And since in your log MovieObject.bdmv is different in BDMV and BDMV\BACKUP folders, you didn't. What exaxtly is the problem with the playback? What message do you get?

I created an ISO with imgburn 2.4. I got 'no disc in drive' error in PDVD 3730. I went back and created a missing META folder in BDVM, then re; ISO'd it. Then I got 'region code' error. I ran region code remover, then it loaded (no errors) but froze at blank screen, no menu or anything. I then recreated the original, with folder fix, and changed PDVD to region 'B' and it worked ,so I'm assuming it's something wrong with the region code remover.

The "Independence Day" log you sent here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1115535#post1115535) is the same as |nitrogen|'s. Can you please tell whether region removing worked for ID after I made modifications for this particular movie? Also, can you please rip this disc with new version of AnyDVD with BD+ removing enabled, then run "Blu-ray Region Code Remover 2.0" (with Region B, I suppose), and then check whether it plays or not in PDVD set to region A or C. I don't know which version of PowerDVD you are using, but can you please also create an .iso with ImgBurn (with UDF 2.5) and try to play the mounted iso as well (with recent versions you will have to it anyway). Frankly, I don't know what could be the problem with this movie. Everything looks fine for me.
Thanks in advance. Your help will be very much appreciated.
And anyone who happened to have "Independence Day" (UK version), could you please do this experiment if you have time and wish. Or if you already did it, could you please tell the results. Thanks.

Why need a BACKUP copy on your backup disc? If that one gets damaged, you still have the original - .... or don't you? :eek:
:)
Seriously: the real main use of AnyDVD HD is (at least that's my observation) to actually allow people to play their discs on an HTPC (whether or not the region code matches or the hardware is or is not HDCP compliant).
So the backup folders really don't make much sense.
If the differing backup folder ever becomes an issue, rest assured, the following update of AnyDVD will act accordingly :)

Hi SuperGoof,
just to let you know: now that BD+ is done, I finally found the time to fix our BD-J RC removal, that failed with some recent discs.
The next release (or beta) will do it.
You may want to check whether there are any side effects if a users happens to (for some reason) use both AnyDVD and your tool.
Your approach is a totally different one, so I'm not sure...

Hi Peer,
So you actually spent some time analyzing how my program works? :) That's cool!
I was thinking about the possibility that some people might run "Blu-ray Region Code Remover" on titles which were already modified by AnyDVD. I will definitely test it when new version of AnyDVD with better support of BD-J region code is available. As it comes to modifications to .class files, I'm pretty confident in the .class file parser I wrote. It modifies the code very carefully, recalculates offsets in all control transfer operations, in tableswitch and lookupswitch operations and in exception tables, and recalculates number of zero bytes in tableswitch and lookupswitch. I'm less confident in the way I treat the content of META-INF folder in .jar files, and I don't touch CERTIFICATES folder at all. May be that's why there are some problems with "Independence Day" (UK).
But in general, as you probably saw, I target the very root functions of BD-J region code check, so I hope if new version of AnyDVD still misses some titles, my program will finish the job. :)

Did you read the error text?
The first line of the exception is
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Ein Teil des Pfades "M:\Awake\Awake\BDMV\JAR" konnte nicht gefunden werden.That should ring a bell... no, it must ring a bell.. the program is looking for a directory that does not exist. Since this software only works on ripped discs the next step would be to compare directory listings of the original disc and the ripped copy with special attention to be paid to the contents of the BDMV subfolder - if it is a BD-J disc then it needs to have that folder (that folder is not necessary if you intend to convert the movie to something else so you may have left it out during the ripping process or deleted it again afterwards). If there's no such folder on the original disc, then it looks like an issue with the software.
Oh,naturally it could be something simpler.. is there really a m:\awake\awake\bdmv directory with subdirectories (like auxdata, backup, playlist, stream, etc.)?

When selecting the region in the program, make sure you select the region of the DISC, not that of the destination player. This is very common mistake that people make: they select the region of the destination player. E.g. if you bought the disc in the USA, select "Region A" from the list regardless what your player is.
If this advise does not help: there are apparently some discs (mainly from Lionsgate) which use some third technique (not that of BDMV script of MovieObject.bdmv file or BD-Java code) for checking the region of the player. This program does not support such discs yet.
Also, thanks for reporting of that error. I did not check it yet, but there might be a bug in the program so that it crashes on discs with no JAR folder. It certainly shouldn't. I'll check this when I have time.

@SuperGoof
This might be a little off topic, but maybe you can help.
The Panasonic BD35/BD55 player stops playing BD-R(E)'s when they contain BD-J with the regioncode removed and Java signatures fixed by AnyDVD.
The player seems to check some of the signed Java files.
When I replace the .jar files containing the slysoft Java class and replace the "app.discroot.crt" certificate with a certficiate of a disc where the regioncode has not been removed and no Java signatures were fixed, the disc plays without a problem.
Is it possible to write a tool, or even implement a function into the Region Code Remover which removes the slysoft Java class from the .jar files and sign the .jar files with the certificate stated above?

Hi,
It is impossible to sign .jar files with original certificate, as this requires that you have the private key corresponding to certificate's public key, which you obviously don't have.
You could report a particular title you have problem with on Slysoft's forum. They might then investigate and fix this. As I don't see why Panasonic doesn't play a disc with .jars fixed by AnyDVD.
Also, did you try fixing .jars with "Blu-ray Region Code Remover"? Maybe Panasonic will like its files beter? :) Though I doubt it...

You don't need the original certificate. I just used a certificate from slysoft, but from a disc where the regioncode and the java signatures were not fixed. This certificate is 2 bytes bigger. So there must be a difference to the certificate used with removed regioncode and disabled bd-live.

You don't have the originals any more so there's no question about "backing them up". Either the originals are in your possession and ownership, in which case we can help, or they aren't, in whch case, we can't.
Sorry about the fire, but sad to say, you should have made your backups earlier, when you owned them. Now, your only refuge is to buy them again - I know that hurts.

I've also just had the count less than zero. Powerdvd is halting with a Region A warning, which can be overcome by resetting the drive to A - the same as if I play the original rather than the files on the drive. I'm just trying to reset the flag so a bd-25 backup will play on my ps3 (Region B), as I think the 'video won't play' and a long error code that that gives is a way of saying the region is wrong.Therefore I'm pretty sure the image on the HDD is set as Region A.

Nothing particularly exciting, just SIG-BD00.SF (signature file) inside .jar files on such discs uses char(10) only instead of char(13) + char(10) as new line delimiter.

I can only guess that you are using the 'internet' copy as if you use anydvd it removes it automatically if you need to when it is ripped. You can use imgburn on the version you have on your HDD to create an iso image. Then, if you mount that using virtual dvd, you can rip it again to your HDD with anydvd to give a clean copy. From then on you're okay.

Anydvd says it is removing the region code, yet in both powerdvd and tmt it says region B when you mount the iso...so I don't think it is working on this title. I also have a promo copy of this movie ahead of next weeks release, not a warez release.

Actually I got anydvd hd to remove the region code I think for quantum of solace. Make sure you have the video bluray settings in anydvd set to remove bluray region code checked and automatic checked, the other settings do not work.
As the above poster suggested, If you have it ripped to the disc and dont have the bluray with you at the moment, simply write the folders to an iso using a program like imgburn, then mount the iso with daemontools, have anydvd scan it, and then use anydvd to extract it again if you need to. Of course it still would be nice to have region code remover do it. Now you can run bdrebuilder to fit in on a single layer and then play in any region standalone player, hopefully no errors!

MCSE only makes drives region free with respect to SD DVD. Region Coding/Region Locking with respect to BD is not controlled by the drive. Nonetheless, MCSE does work nicely on supported BD drives for the various features offered.

Hi!
If you use some programs to do a FULL DISC backup of a recent Blu-ray disc that contains "BD+" , upon playback, you'll be confronted with a red and yellow notification stating that you MUST update your firmware in order to proceed - and if you don't do that, you're at a dead end.
Is this controlled by a PUO? If so, does your program circumvent this? (I've been told that this message is controlled simply by two flags [bytes] in one of the files in the "BDJO" directory.)
Peer van Heuen
28th December 2010, 18:03
Is this controlled by a PUO?
That's a no.
I've been told that this message is controlled simply by two flags [bytes] in one of the files in the "BDJO" directory.
That's another no.
The red and white message is a movie clip from Fox.
The program code (HDMV code and/or BD-J code) navigates to that clip whenever it determines that BD+ wasn't (completely/correctly) removed.
The indicators to determine that vary, but typically are:
- certain PSRs contain the wrong values
- BD-J variables that contain values they wouldn't, if the BD-J part of BD+ had run correctly
- a BD-J exception due to an improper environment or a buggy "player".
There is no really generic way to get rid of that screen.

@Peer van Heuen
Thanks for the feedback but, I want to make certain we're referring to the same notification because:
1) The notice I'm referring to is ALWAYS red and YELLOW (not white).
2) In an experiment with 6 different Blu-ray discs containing "BD+", I first (full disc) ripped each of them with DVDFab Passkey (that DOES circumvent the "dead end" red and yellow notification) - and then (full disc) ripped each of them with MakeMKV (that DOES NOT circumvent the "dead end" red and yellow notification).
I then performed a byte-to-byte of all files in the "BDJO" folder - and in each instance noted that only one MakeMKV "BDJO" file was not identical to the same DVDFab Passkey file - and in each instance there were only two bytes that differed.
I then changed the two bytes in the MakeMKV "BDJO" file - and the modified MakeMKV (just like the DVDFab Passkey version) full disc bypassed the "dead end" message and instead momentarily displayed a black and white "You MAY need to update your firmware" notification and then allowed the playback to continue normally.
Reading the above will probably lead the reader(s) of this post to ask, "So, if you've got it all figured out, why are you asking?"
The problem is that the two byte "flipping" is not always in the same file or sub-folder from one title to another - and the locations of the two bytes within the files are also not always the same. I've only been able to accomplish this tracking/comparison by using the free trial version of DVDFab Passkey (I presume there would be similar results by using AnyDVDHD's trial version for comparison), and I have no desire to pay the asking price for DVDFab Passkey (or AnyDVDHD) in order to deal with this one annoying problem.
Perhaps "SuperGoof" or someone else will provide a solution...

1) The notice I'm referring to is ALWAYS red and YELLOW (not white).
I haven't seen that image for quite a while, so I'm sure, you're right and it's yellow, not white. Still I assure you, it's the same thing we are talking about.
I then performed a byte-to-byte of all files in the "BDJO" folder - and in each instance noted that only one MakeMKV "BDJO" file was not identical to the same DVDFab Passkey file - and in each instance there were only two bytes that differed.
You got lucky that those 5 discs of yours are using a similar BD+ if all of those are happy with the bit-flipping in those BDJO files.
These discs just need a change of load order to bypass the BD-J portion of the BD+. That's what the bit flipping is for.
Other discs only need some values in MovieObjects.bdmv changed.
And then others, like Avatar, need JAR files to be modified, classes to be replaced and so on...
For each of those "types", there are even different possible solutions.

Unlikely. SuperGoof does a good job on removing the region coding, which is actually a little related to the removal of those update screens.
But the big differences are:
the BD+ firmware warning is a problem you encounter ONLY with FOX discs and
ONLY with full disc backups made with MakeMKV (after all full disc was something he never really intended for his software)
it takes quite an effort only to decide exactly which removal method the disc needs
So that leaves a giant effort required to make a very small group of people happy.
It's not rocket science, but it's not exactly simple either. There's knowlege in the area of quite a few topics required.
AnyDVD does it and - well DVDFab does it by copying AnyDVD's methods 1:1 and even injecting our code into the JARs, so chances are that DVDFab wouldn't be removing it if AnyDVD hadn't shown them, how...
So here you have exactly two payware solutions that will remove that screen for you. And that's because these things aren't fixed with a finger snip.
If you want to be a free rider, which is perfectly fine, you'll have to live with the limitations.
The ones you pay will constantly stay committed to fixing your troubles.
With the freeware authors you're at the mercy of their enthusiasm - which typically decreases with time (ask me how often I wake up in the morning and wish I could stay in bed instead of removing BD+ firmware warnings... ;) ).

@Peer van Heuen You got lucky that those 5 discs of yours are using a similar BD+ if all of those are happy with the bit-flipping in those BDJO files.
I guess that's possible, although (to me) it seems unlikely, since these Fox Blu-rays were releases spread over the last 5 months or so - and during that same period, I did not come across any Fox BD+ releases that did not require just the "two byte flipping" in order to bypass that warning.
Other discs only need some values in MovieObjects.bdmv changed.
And then others, like Avatar, need JAR files to be modified, classes to be replaced and so on...
For each of those "types", there are even different possible solutionsAre all these alternatives pertinent to just bypassing the BD+ warning, or are you describing some of the possible requirements for overcoming the entiirety of the BD+ protection? (as it sounds to me, although I know nothing about the intricacies)
If you want to be a free rider, which is perfectly fine, you'll have to live with the limitations. If my presumption about the "flipping" being the ONLY thing required to bypass the warning message was correct, I was hoping that the methodology used for overcoming this singular repetitive event could be shared, so that those of us who are simply looking for the gratification of making full disc backups would be able to continue to do so. If not, "life goes on", with (for the time being) full disc backups of non-Fox/BD+ release and movie-only backups of Fox/BD+ releases (Or, essentially full disc backups of Fox/BD+ releases with custom menus via multiAVCHD). In real world terms, when you consider the generally insignificant "value" of the extras that appear on most discs, there's no great loss in having the occasional movie-only backup in one's collection - although, if this ever becomes the case with Disney release, my grandkids would be all over me ;>}

No, it's really JUST the removal of that FW warning, I'm talking about.
Imagine the scenario: there's a disc with a hunk of Java on it that controls the flow of the disc with menus and whatnot.
Somewhere woven into it, there is code that communicates with the BD+ engine (the more recent BD+ discs do that throughout the movie).
Now, if BD+ already has been removed, that Java code will panic, because OMG, where's my BD+? Gone? No one to talk to.
This part needs to be cut out or otherwise be silenced or made happy - even BD+ has the desire to be happy.
So flipping those bits will not help.
With many older BD+ discs it's easier, as this BD-J part only runs once before the movie starts, then it launches the BD-J object that contains the movie itself. So simply removing the BD+ object in the BDJO file will do the trick. That's what you are seeing.

I certainly don't question your knowledge about this (obviously), but I have a hard time reconciling what you say to the fact (that I alluded to earlier) that my findings/results have all been based on NEW Fox releases over the past several months, including IIRC "Knight and Day", "Wall Street - Money Never Sleeps", "Predators", "Diary if a Wimpy Kid", and "The A-Team", to mention a few.
It would appear that I'll have to wait to purchase the next Fox Blu-ray release(s) to see if the MakeMKV full disc rip, combined with the 2 byte flipping (determined by comparing the DVDFab Passkey-created "BDJO" files with those created by MakeMKV) still circumvents the "BD+ warning".
Perhaps I've piqued your curiosity sufficiently that you may choose to perform the same test to "check it out" for yourself...

Without ever having tried it - I do think it is possible, that, at least for many discs, the original BD+ code in BD-J still diligently processing the non-existing BD+ causes no real harm, as it may simply stall.
Not a clean solution, but if it works for you, I don't see a real drawback.
But I know that there are a handful of even older discs where the BDJO-"trick" won't work, because the loading works differently. A Russian version of "Dragonball Evolution" comes to mind, but I doubt, you'll be troubled by that :)

Blu-ray Region Code Remover 2.5 - 22-Nov-2008
- Fixed an error ("Extra data contains Zip64 information but version 2.0 is not high enough") which was happening
when the program tried to process .jar files with Zip64 extentions. The error was caused by SharpZipLib.dll.
Had to modify SharpZipLib's code and compile a custom .dll in order to fix this problem.
- Started using the same key and certificate for signing .jar files (previously the key was generated anew every time).
This is also the same key and certificate used by AnyDVD HD for the purpose of .jar file signing (Thanks, Peer!).
- Added an option to fix downloaded gbwhatsapp (https://gbapps.net/gbwhatsapp-apk/) BD-Live content in BD-Live cache folders. As the program uses the same key as AnyDVD HD
for signing .jar files, you can use this feature for BD-Live enabled discs ripped or modified on-the-fly with AnyDVD HD
(please refer to Fix_BD-Live.txt for more information).
- Minor user interface changes.

"Blu-ray Region Code Remover" - a program to remove Blu-ray region code from Blu-ray rips.
This program removes Blu-ray region code from Blu-ray rips on a hard disk drive to allow playback regardless of region setting of the player.
(To copy a Blu-ray disc to hard drive, please use Blu-ray Disc Ripper (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=129663).)
The program supports removing of region code from Blu-ray titles which check the region of the player by means of BDMV script,
and Java-enabled titles which check the region by BD-J script as well.
The program also allows removing of Prohibited User Operations (PUOs) to provide better user experience while navigating movies.
The program is written in Visual Basic and requires Windows Vista or Windows XP with .NET Framework 2.0 to run.

Change Log (up to Version 2.4):
06-May-2008 - Version 2.4
- Implemented signing of .jar archives with certificates.
- The program now recreates .jar archives, which it has modified, from scratch using SharpZipLib. This fixes the problem with some titles (e.g. "Independence Day", UK) which contain .jar files in some odd zip format.
- Changed the program so that now it will not attempt to modify 'sly/SlyReg.class' file in .jar archives. Thus .jar files modified by AnyDVD will not be modified again.
- Removed a check and warning message which required the selected folder to be a Blu-ray movie folder for "Create Logfile" button to work. You can now use this button to create a comprehensive list of files and subfolders in selected folder.
05-Apr-2008:
Version 2.3: Added an option to remove Prohibited User Operations (PUOs) from Blu-ray titles.
03-Apr-2008:
Version 2.1: Fix for "Blu-ray Region Code Remover" overriding BD+ related modifications in MovieObject.bdmv file, made by AnyDVD.
Note: This bug only affects titles which were ripped with AnyDVD 6.4.0.0 or later with "Remove BD+ protection" option enabled and which have both BD+ and region check by MovieObject.bdmv, like "Live Free Or Die Hard". If you used "Blu-ray Region Code Remover" to remove region code from such titles, please copy MovieObject.bdmv file from the original disc (with AnyDVD enabled) to movie's BDMV folder on a hard drive and then run "Blu-ray Region Code Remover" again.
31-Mar-2008: Version 2.0 released. It does not use 'classes.zip' file anymore. It includes java .class file parser and supports removing of region code from ALL BD-Java titles, as well as ALL BDMV titles.
26-Mar-2008: Updated 'classes.zip' file to support "I, Robot" (US).
25-Mar-2008: Updated 'classes.zip' file to support "Independence Day" (US), "Independence Day" (UK), "Die Hard 3" (US) (and possibly some other titles).
