Experience playing DVD's on Computers- PAL, NTSC and different regions?

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a friend at work has been able to copy DVD’s removing the “extraneous” introductions and menus, I am sure he will be able to help in removing region codes.

Bostin01 is right but be careful doing it this way as you can set your drive 5 times like this and then it is permenant and BE WARNED as even reinstalling the OS wont fix it (i.e it locks the drive to whatever region you were using at that time).

Nice one Curlyboy, never knew that.:eek:

Learn something new everyday, glad you were reading thread, as that could have caused untold grief to our friend Hurri.:)

Cheers

You are better off using a program that hacks the region coding, as for PAL and NTSC they make no differance on PC’s as they are television formats and PC monitors run on a differant system.

I run ALL regions on my PC using the hacking software and it works with your dvd software so you have no techy stuff to do first.

Should be ok.However you can go into ‘Control Panel’>Device manager, then right click on your DVD drive > properties, then click on region, and set from there.

Hope that’s of help.

Yes, your PC should be able to do that, or if not as it stands, download a little reader utility. You might even be able to convert it to NTSC depending on your software/hardware combo and burn a DVD so you can use your DVD player/TV
