| 1245296 | 2011-11-24 09:06:00 | Just interested in what DVD/decoder do you use? Just the Windows one? And how do you deal with regions? Do you just watch Region 4? And it be great if anyone knows a decoder that works with a P3-600 (our old laptop) . It's jerky . Cheers :) |

| 1245297 | 2011-11-24 09:08:00 | I just use PowerDVD 10, and my drives are region hacked, so i can watch all my dvds, as i have lots of different region dvds. For my laptop, i use DVDFab Passkey to bypass region codes. If you wanna watch dvds on XP and need a decoder. Google the Dscaler 5 dvd decoder, which is what i used. |

| 1245299 | 2011-11-24 09:12:00 | I just use Win7 and WMP. If I want to play other zones, I'll play it on the bluray player. Which is connected to this monitor | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1245300 | 2011-11-24 09:15:00 | And you reinstall Windows is the DVD Drive locked to a region already? I just reinstalled Win7 and it was on Zone 4 already. But I think if you make too many changes (more than 4), and you reformat, it'll stay at the last zone you changed to |

| 1245302 | 2011-11-24 09:57:00 | It annoys me that The Warehouse sell DVDs that require a Multi-Zone player to play them. I just placed one in my computer and PowerDVD tells me that the DVD does not match the region code on my disc player. I am given the choice to either; Keep my DVD drives region code. or Change DVD drives region code. You may only change it 5 times. |

You may only change it 5 times. the free DVDFab Passkey software is good for bypassing that sort of stuff. it will let you play any region of dvd in power dvd. or you could region hack your drive. |

| 1245305 | 2011-11-24 19:52:00 | I don't play DVDs on my computer. Why would I when I can watch them on my 40" LCD TV with the sound going through my surround sound system. :) |
