[Year 12 IPM] OT - Region 1 DVDs

[Nikita Dulics]

If your Region 1 DVD won't play on your Region 4 Computer DVD drive you could try a software called   "DVD Genie" to change your drive to Region Free.            DVD Genie is a versatile region selector and tweak utility for various PC-DVD -players. Remember  though that you can only change your drive's region 5 times. The last  change will stay that way for ever. There is some info about it at;

  Good luck

players labelled as such which don't work with many (or any) foreign discs.

Australia is Region 4 which corresponds to the PAL format down here; Region 
1 is the USA in NTSC.

Computers with DVD drives can usually play other regions no problem, but it 
depends on the player software.  My friend found that his player would only 
let him change the region a fixed number of times.  Others find they can 
change it at will.
