I'm not sure about it neither... I thought the known plaintext 
attack (title method) could circumwent the rpc2 mechanism but it
at least failed on one device/dvd I tested. Although the methode
doesn't garantie any success, I'm still curious if it work for
anyone...

So it worked for your rpc2 laptop dvd drive and the dvd had the 
wrong region, right?
