BA, it works up to the point where it fails with a laptop that uses a non-standard or replaceable optical drive. Then there's another thing to remember: Certain DVD publishers are lazy and create a disc image that covers a large portion of the world and just change the outer jacket (some don't even bother doing that).
I know that in my library I've got mainstream DVDs I've bought locally (Australia: R4) that will be able to be played with no issues in a region-locked player(R1:US, R2:UK) due to it having a matching code in it's bootstring. I've also noticed a similar thing occurring with Blu-ray too.
