There's a 3rd party solution. Don't think I can say more though, as I don't believe that's allowed on the forum.

Its slysoft with AnyDVD HD, that will decrypt bluray content and strip region coding etcetc.

As to if the software is legal or not, this varies by country as in some countries rights to reasonable self use do exist, in other countries circumventing region coding is illegal, along with other things being illegal like defeating AACS and HDCP.

My personal view is that region coding is nothing but market fixation by the content cartels and it limits a persons rights to fair self use. Its especially problematic for international travellers who move around.

I agree with you nullack, but CyberLink don't have this function with PowerDVD 15 or do they? Is it something I can purchase from them? Please reply someone from CyberLink thank you...

I cant imagine Cyberlink ever offering such a product feature. They have to be buddy buddy with the media cartels to demonstrate their trustworthy enough in the eyes of the media cartels to be given bluray playback licenses, to be given decryption keys for decryoting bluray content etcetc

Im sure the media cartels would put Cyberlink through the wringer on compliance tests and so on before they certify it and allow for a licence from them.

It's not an option in PowerDVD, for the reasons nullack mentioned. Media companies came down very heavily on the maker of a well known DVD decryption software last year, so I can't see Cyberlink touching this with a bargepole.
