How to change DVD drive region?
Most DVDs are encoded for play in specific regions. So for example it is not possible to play a DVD intended for Europe in USA or Canada and vice versa. To play a regionalized DVD from another region on your computer, you must set your DVD drive to play discs from that region by selecting a geographic area.
To change the region of your drive:
- Go My Computer, find your DVD drive an make right mouse click on it
- Select Properties and go to the Hardware tad
- Find you DVD drive in this list again and click the Properties button
- Go to the DVD Region tab
- Now in the list of regions find the place where your DVD arrives from, select it and click OK
CAUTION
You can change the region only 5 times. After Changes remaining reaches zero, you cannot change the region even if you reinstall Windows or move your DVD drive to a different computer.
Another way to change the region of your drive:
- Download, install and run AVS DVD Player: AVS DVD Player
- Make right mouse click on AVS DVD Player window and select Preferences… and go to Region Settings
- Select the desired region and click OK
