DVD Regional Code - Tech Corner

Sylce · 08-30-2008, 06:11 AM

Like an idiot I bought a DVD in the UK as I was there only to remember afterwards when I put in the DVD when I got back to Canada that I can't watch it.

I know there is a way to change your DVD player to enable veiwing the DVD, so could someone point me out to a helpful place - or even better you could explain it in your own words.

can you watch it on your PC? if so, just rip it and Re-burn (hard and time consuming)

if you cant or wont do that, then youll have to mod your DVD player (yes i said mod) you have to get a Mod chip, or some DVD players allow you to enter a Code to change the Region Code, read the owners Manuel to see......

and if you threw it away, you may be out of luck

i did find, it isnt all that help full but it may: http://www.acc.umu.se/~jonta/mirror/DVD.html
