What region codes for DVD's?

Question

I bought a dvd online but cannot get it to play on my machine as its region 1.Has anyone any clues as to how I can get round this and get to watch it.Thanks

Answer 1

I would look at getting a hack code for your player. You enter a series of button pushes via the remote control, which allows access to a 'hidden' menu. You merely select the required DVD region or select all or 0, which means the player should handle any region. Turn off and turn on your player and you are set up.



The exception is anything region 1 marked as 'RCE', which means region coding enhanced. The DVD has software that checks the region of the player and if it is set to region '0' (meaning it will play any region), this is the region the player will always recognise the DVD as being. The DVD will refuse to play, as it's region coding doesn't match the player's one. You'll probably see an on-screen message as well.



If you have the player 'chipped' this is overcome, but if you go down this route, always ask if their modification will play RCE DVD's.



If you manually select the region as above, then the disc will play fine, as it matches the player's DVD region code.



If your player is a Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic or Pioneer you will need to get it modified internally, as these hacks will not work. About £50 should be enough.

What country are you in? Below is a list of the different region codes.



As for getting around it. If you have a DVD player in your computer, you can change the region that it plays in. I think you can only change it's region 4 or 5 times and then it will stay there forever. So be careful.

I bought some DVDs from England and had them sent to me in the States. I downloaded Nero 8 demo. I copied my video and then had Nero change it from PAL to NTSC. Then I burned a copy of the video in Region one format. You can do that also but in reverse. Or you can just change the format that your DVD player on your computer works in and watch it on your computer for a better picture.

Answer 3

Region 1 is the United States. Mexico is Region 4. Many DVD players are built for specific regions, and only play DVD's made for those regions. Region free DVD players are available that will play any DVD, and they are usually more expensive.
