The software enables universal play of region-coded DVDs on a DVD drive that is region-locked, and thereby prolongs the life of the drive.

Using Smart Read-ahead Cache, DVDIdle Pro saves DVD titles to RAM cache or hard drive cache. This allows your DVD drive to stop reading DVDs while still providing smooth playback, meaning your 6X-speed DVD drive will only work for 15 minutes while watching a 90-minute DVD title.
With DVDIdle Pro, you can watch all-region DVDs on your region-locked DVD drive without needing to make firmware modifications. Plus, it can disable region checks for software-based DVD players and offers built-in support for popular players like PowerDVD, WinDVD, and Windows Media Player.
But DVDIdle Pro doesn't just stop at DVD region unlocking. It also includes extra features, such as the ability to change video mode for TV output, skip FBI warnings, play the feature presentation directly, and run automatically at DVD player startup.
Advanced features include Region-Free for RPC2 DVD drives, RCE DVD compatibility, macrovision-free playback, and direct-play of the main title. DVDIdle Pro even extends the lifetime of your DVD drive by up to 800 percent and extends your laptop's battery time by up to 30 percent.
In conclusion, DVDIdle Pro serves as a valuable tool for anyone wanting to watch all-region DVDs on their region-locked DVD drive while also prolonging the life of their DVD drive. With its many advanced features and easy-to-use interface, this software is a must-have for any DVD enthusiast.
