zone free DVD software

I have a DVD player installed in XP laptop (Dell XPS), which can change the zone only upto 4 time.   I travel a lot so i would like it to play all regions movies without any limits. Recently I come to know that there are few softwares available which can offer no restriction of zone (I know one DVD X, they also have DVD X ghost, which can work along with anyother DVD players). Do anyone of you have any idea about this? How good/safe these software are and does it create any conflict with system. is it legal?

waiting for suggestion,

Dibyendu

    It's not legal and Dell does not permit discussions of software that circumvents region restrictions.

    Perhaps one should not generalize one country's situation to apply to the rest of the world. It may be illegal in the US to use zone free software, but the same is not true with the rest of the world where usage of such software to circumvent zone restrictions is perfectly legal in almost all countries. Dell has chosen not to allow discussions of methods to bypass zone code in these forums, but it still does not mean that a Dell owner in a country where there are no legal restrictions in this matter, should abide by US laws.

    Quoting the bottom of this webpage:

    "Copyright 1999-2004 Dell Inc. For customers of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia only."

    I guess that's their justification.
