It not so much mplayers problem as it is wether your DVD drive can be
set to region 2 or 0 (regionfree).
There is a tool called "regionset" which will let you reprogram the
drive, but most drives only let you do that a limited number or times
(ususally 3-5).
An alternative would be to get hold of a regionless firmware somewhere
on the internet and flash the drive with that, but this is most likely
illegal in your country under the DMCA.
HTH,
Peter
