DVD Question[views:3084][posts:9]______________________________________ [Mar 7,2006 6:27am - Messerschmitt ""] I bought a dvd from Australia. I put it in the dvd player and a code comes up: wrong region code? It won't play? does anyone know how to fix it? or am i fucked? |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2006 8:21am - the_reverend ""] you either need to change the region on your DVD player (which you can only do a couple times) or get a region free dvd player. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 7,2006 8:25am - Messerschmitt ""] shit. thanks. i'll give it a shot. know where i can find info on it? |
| _________________________________ [Mar 7,2006 8:30am - succubus ""] not all dvd player's can change region...try googling it |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 7,2006 8:33am - Messerschmitt ""] looks like i'll have to go out and buy a dvd player. i don't think you can unlock the region code on a ps2 which is what i use to play dvds. strictly ghetto |
| ____________________________________________ [Mar 7,2006 9:36am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] There are a lot of cheap DVD players which can play multiple regions right out of the box. I think I have an APEX that cost me $38, 4-5 years ago. |

| _______________________________________ [Mar 7,2006 12:15pm - Messerschmitt ""] so... just burn a copy of the dvd on a dvd player? i'm really retarded when it comes to this kind of shit. my gf has a dvd burner on her laptop. can i use that to do it? |

I don't know if it will work on a PS2 but it has worked on normal DVD players. My bro has an old PS2 and I don't think it will play DVD-R's. And yes you can change the region by re-burning it with DVDshrink, but I assume that you'll have to change the region of your DVD burner first to be able to read the disc. |
