I have to write some some web-based user guides for about 8 applications I have written very soon so I was using big-all as a warm-up

Thanks for being my guinea pig

You should be able to get some software that will play them from any region.

What software are you using to watch your dvd's now?

Hoovie · Post by **Hoovie** » Fri Oct 12, 2007 2:52 pm

DVDs are linked to regions,as you have found out. You can usually change the region on the player you have to watch a movie from another region, but only 4 times untl it is locked to last region - that should be an option for you.

My suggestion is to use another peice of s/w for the movies that are say Region 1 if most of your movides are Region 2
Best S/W to use is VideoLan (aka VLAN) - that will play just about any video from anywhere without complaining

google VideoLAN - it's a free download
