| 525721 | 2007-02-19 07:51:00 | I see that the World is divided up into 6 Regions. America/Canada being "1". Aust/NZ being "4". My Comp DVD is set at "1" Maryann's is "Not selected". How does one know what region a DVD is? It is not marked on the DVD Nor the cover. Unless that is what the little box, with a picture of the World with ALL in it. Yes?? Isn't there a programme that allows all regions to be played without using up the 5times setting alterations? PJ |

| 525722 | 2007-02-19 08:05:00 | Usually the zone is on the back of a DVD cover (within a pic of a globe). Thats it the globe with ALL in it, which means any zone. If its a Zone 1 or 4 or other, it'll show 1 or 4 within the globe. (It'll also say PAL or NTSC), on the back. If its in this format as well. Just be careful as 1 is US. And if u change it too many times, it'll lock it after 5 changes. This (http://www.dvd-x-player.com/) is what I use. BUT, it isnt free. |

| 525725 | 2007-02-19 10:10:00 | This program (www.remoteselector.com) will check your DVD drives settings for region setting and changes left. The world is split up into 8 DVD regions: Region 1: U.S., Canada, U.S. Territories Region 2: Japan, Europe, South Africa, and Middle East (including Egypt) Region 3: Southeast Asia and East Asia (including Hong Kong) Region 4: Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Central America, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean Region 5: Eastern Europe (Former Soviet Union), Indian subcontinent, Africa, North Korea, and Mongolia Region 6: China Region 7: Reserved Region 8: Special international venues (airplanes, cruise ships, etc.) I myself use VLC player (www.videolan.org) to play my DVD movies and shows. Basic clunky interface but you will get used to it. |

| 525726 | 2007-02-19 11:54:00 | I use DVD Region Killer (on WindowsXP) which is free and seamlessly gets around region issues (as long as ur actual drive is region-free.) I thought this was more or less compulsory for Windows users but since people are having trouble... |

| 525728 | 2007-02-19 19:13:00 | Why be so reticent? If Region Control had any standing in NZ the Warehouse wouldn't be able to sell so many parallel imported R1 and R2 disks. I believe the drive in question is a Liteon so search for the LtnRPC software. |
