1194945 2011-04-16 01:23:00 Hi,
Can anyone tell me what the dvd zone should be set to? I have Vista home premium. It is currently set at "None selected". This is the first time on this vista machine. I understand that once you set set it that you only have four more times left. At the moment it won't play anything and I have set Autoplay to play dvd using Windows Media Player.
I just want to be able to play Fatso rentals, Video EZY rentals, and dvd movies I buy from the warehouse.

Any help appreciated, cheers LL

1194946 2011-04-16 01:26:00 NZ is Zone 4.

This site (www.laserrot.com) and This map (en.wikipedia.org)shows a world map with the different zones.


I understand that once you set set it that you only have four more times left. correct, by default on the last change, it will lock in what ever zone is selected.

1194947 2011-04-16 02:05:00 Thanks Wainui. I have set region 4. It now plays normal dvds, but not Blu-ray. Would I have to get a blu-ray player for the computer? The only options under Autoplay for a blu-ray disc are: Open to view files, or Create an image using Imgburn. Don't like the sound of that second option, would'nt that be illegal?

1194948 2011-04-16 02:22:00 The DVD-ROM probably doesnt support bluray (Its not a bluray player, or bluray burner). And you would need a codec to play it. Depending on what program you use to play it. The create an image is probably an ISO. Which isnt illegal, if you make you own ISO Speedy Gonzales (78)
1194949 2011-04-16 02:27:00 Ok, thanks for that Speedy.
