    What DVD drive is in your Mac? Some drives (namely Matshita and HL-DT-ST ones) can't play DVDs from other regions.

    The external would probably work fine with VLC and MTR on DVDs from other regions. MTR can remove those pesky region codes for ya... Oh, and there seem to be reports of VLC working fine with the Matshita CW-8123 drive... which means that MTR might be OK too...
