TomG Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Try playing it through VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ I think it can bypass the multiregion thing. Some (set top) DVD players have a code / menu you can go into to switch or deactivate the region lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 The problem here is you've got an expensive DVD player made by the same people who own a record company and film company. What you need is a £30 unbranded one (Lidl have them on offer at the mo) that will play anything you stick in it. Mine will even play DivX files from a USB pen or SD card, not bad for £30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
