DVD Region

When you are dealing with Original DVDs there is something called DVD region. If your player doesn't support the DVD's region the disk won't play (most of you probable know this by now… ). I thought in computers theses things just won’t matter…. As usual I was wrong There is a DVD region fixed into any DVD ROM. You could change this but only for 5 times!! It won’t matter if you format your PC or install the ROM in another PC, the counter will remain the same! So, what can you do? You could always have one drive for each region if you have plenty of green stuff or else you could find a software that doesn’t care about the DVD region! (e.g. VLC media player)
