the fifth time, the code is retained as a permanent code; you should therefore be careful about changing it. If you set the same regional code as in the last installation, this is not registered as a change. This process is determined on the hardware side and cannot be cancelled using software.

Before buying a DVD video, you should check that the regional code on the DVD video matches the code set on your PC.

... for using the correct blank DVDs

There is not a general standard for burning (writing) DVDs currently. The most common recording methods for DVD burners are: DVD+RW, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM. Although the technologies are similar, each of these formats requires specific blank DVDs and is based on a separate recording technology.

With most burning programs, you can find out under "Properties" or "Infotool" which blanks can be used.

We recommend that on systems with Fujitsu Siemens Computers DVD burners, the following blank DVDs be used:

DVD+RW rewritable blank DVDs or

DVD+R non-rewritable DVDs.
