Is there a way to find out if your computer can play a Region 4 DVD?


Recommended Posts

our laptop is able to switch regions; I'm not sure how to figure that out, maybe search the model number? (although, we can only switch it back & forth so many times, so be careful you don't freeze it in the wrong region).

 

You can also search your DVD player model number; some have a code online that you can use to unlock the player and make it multi-regional.

Somehow this movie wasn't released in America and I can only find it on ebay as a Region 4. tia
Usually you can switch regions on a DVD player up to five times before no more are allowed. Some older drives don't have this restriction. If you have any geeky friends (know anyone who, say, downloads shows from the UK to see them before we get them here? chances are they buy region 2 DVDs as well), they may be able to rip the DVD for you and strip out the region encoding so you can play it on a regular DVD player or on your computer without worry or restriction.
