Region Codes Hi I need to play UK as well as USA DVD all the time how can I do this. I have a HP pavilion Entertainment PC. Alan

The UK, Europe and Japan use Region 2. Region 1 discs are used in the USA or Canada. These codes control where the discs can be played, and you cannot normally buy DVDs in a different region and play them at home.




Hope this Helps?

From Control Panel, click System, Device Manager, click + beside DVD Drive, right click you drive and select properties, DVD Region Tab, and change Region to Canada. You can only chnage this 5 times until it locks on the last change. Look into a program called AnyDVD as it will play Region Free.

Hi, guessing you are from the UK? Different countries operate different regions for dvd's for instance the UK dvd players are set up to play region 2 discs, and US dvd players are set up to play region 1 discs.
This is because dvd release dates are different around the world and this stops people buying a dvd in the US and bringing it back to the UK and selling it before its official UK release date for example.
Your choices are either to play the dvds on a PC where often the dvd software will allow you to change region a number of times (be careful though as some players will let you change region say 5 times and then be locked to that region)
Or to get hold of or buy a multi region dvd player which plkays dvd'd regardless of their original region
Hope that makes sense, good luck

try to buy a very cheap usa dvd player the formating for us movies and uk movies are different and players different also try this first

Hi Macca

I have used this program for a long time on one of my HP laptops. It works a treat. I can play discs from any region without changing the region settings on the rom drive itself.
