Tally Report post Posted May 14, 2008 Can I play a Region 1 DVD on my computer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baddad Report post Posted May 14, 2008 ouchie - probably once or twice, but make sure you put a region 2 disc in straight away afterwards to reset the software (most drives give you 4 goes to change the region before locking it)... the next problem you run into could be the player you use... some players have a software region encoder, and you have to bypass this too... some drives can be set to region free (you have to know the specifics of your drive and download a 'region' tool) but you'd still have to bypass the software encoder if there is one... it's a bit complicated sounding, but actually quite easy if you have the right software etc... hope that helps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leeds_demon Report post Posted May 6, 2011 Try VLC Media player. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScienceGeek Report post Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah VLC is great and means you don't have to keep switching regions all the time. We have a fair few region 1 dvds and thats how we watch them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
