Using Regional Codes
DVDs sometimes come with regional codes
imprinted as part of the disc data. These codes
prevent DVD movies from being played in

usually placed over a world globe printed on the
DVD packaging and disc.
DVDs without regional codes will play on any
player or drive in any country.

WinDVD is not pre-set to a particular region
—
the regional code of the first DVD movie you
play determines your DVD region.
For example, if you play a DVD with a region 1
code, WinDVD sets the current region of your
DVD player to 1. If you later play a DVD that is
coded for a different region, WinDVD asks if
you want to set this as the current region.
Warning:
You can change the region
only five times before the change
becomes permanent.
