Changing the DVD region code

Attention: Regionalization and Copy Protection (the DVD region code) uses the content scramble system (CSS) standard to prevent unauthorized duplication of the intellectual property rights distributed on DVDs. It was originally requested by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to address video piracy, but is applicable to any content. CSS works by inhibiting the transmission of unencrypted data without proper authorization. Playback systems must license CSS to decode the encrypted data.

The CSS specification divides the world into seven unique regions. Content designated for one region cannot be read by playback systems in another region. While CSS is used to prevent digital copies of the DVD content, another technology devised by Macrovision is used to prevent analog copies of the DVD content. The Macrovision standard is a scrambling system that has been widely used by the movie industry to prevent unauthorized duplication of video content using commercial VCRs. DVD playback systems must support both CSS and Macrovision copy protection standards.

If you relocate to a different region of the world, you can use the MPEG-2 Decoding software to change the region code.

Note: You can change the DVD region code only five times. After you make five region code changes, the drive can play only MPEG-2 video titles that are associated with the fifth region code that you set.

To change the region code, do the following:

1.Turn on your computer and start your operating system.

2.Click Start.

3.Select Programs.

4.Click MPEG-2 Decoding Software.

5.Click the Properties icon to open the Properties window.

6.Click the General Properties tab.

7.Select the correct region code for your country.

8.Click OK so that changes take effect.
