You will get a dialogue box appear if you stick in a DVD of the "wrong" region. It may well ask you if you want to change the region your DVD drive plays, and also tell you how many more times you can change the region code ( typically you can change region a total of 5 times ). There are, of course, a number of hacks to get around those number of changes limits, but being hacks you use them at your own risk...\n\nHey, multi-region DVD players cost around $30 ( so I hear ), go get one of those and wire it up to your TV..\n\n( And, well, I live in the UK, what DON'T you get released there? Sooner? And in a better version with more extras? )

Looks like you need a new dvd drive.  It should play with not a problem.\n\nOh, wait.  Did your computer come with OSX?  If not, and you upgraded, then you could need either more Ram, or a faster processor.  You can replace the ram, but most macs can't have their processor upgraded.\n\nTo find out better info, go to MacOSXHints.com ( i think that's it.  it's been a while.)  They have loads of mac genius' that can help.

no nothing wrongh with the dvd, you need to upgrade your windows and make sure you have the right windows program. if you go to a store that sells programs they should be able to tell you wich one you need to buy or possibly download.

well....some dvd's are meant to stay in a country. we for example are region 1. since currency is different across the globe, u could easily get the latest movies for like 10 cents. and new movies are released at different times across the globe. if u use a decoder, its like piracy.

The best thing do is, save all your data on CD/DVD and then format the hard disk, C drive that has the operating system.

You can change the Region on a burned DVD to a region-free disc by using the program  DVDShrink.\nhttp://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html\nHowever, you must correctly identify the original region the disc you're backing up was intended for in order for the program to work

You may have a hack you can carry out on your DVD player.  Type in DVD Region Hack in google or yahoo and when you get on one of their websites look for the make and model number of your DVD player and follow the instructions.  Mostly you type in a 5 or 6 digit code into your remote and it becomes region free.  Good luck.

The easiest way is to use a software called CloneDVD. The program lets u copy the entire dvd at once with one click also has the options of changing DVD-9 Format to DVD-5 (which is ur dvd-or+r). To solve the problem of regions and other stuff use a software from the same company called AnyDVD. Demo version are also available to use. The site address is below.\n\nPS: This information is given to u to use for the dvds that you own, I m no undre any condition responsible for what you do with the copied dvds.

Using a multi-region DVD player is the only real way to do this.\n\nGenerally with a DVD you can reprogram the region a certain number of times (Years ago I was aware this was 5 times but this may have changed), before it gets locked into the system.\n\nMulti-region players seem to be fairly wide spread in europe so we can view US DVD's.

You could use DVD Shrink and compress the disk (it creates input files on your hard disk) plus it removes the Copy Protection Error found on the Disk plus if you specify what country it was originally intended for, the program removes the RCE Protection.(Regional Coding Enhancement)
