• Windows Media Player 11 says wrong region to play DVDs purchased in the United States - why?

  I apologize in advance; I'm sure that this question has been asked many times before, but I have been searching Microsoft for two hours and I'm frustrated that there is no clear answer.

  I'm in the United States the computer was purchased from the United States the activated, legal Vista Home Premium is on U.S. time and language settings. The DVD was purchased from the United States and the seller (Amazon, a reliable company) confirmed to me in writing that it is meant to be played in the United States the region on my player says DVD region 1. All settings are enabled by default. Media Player 11 is updated as part of the Microsoft Windows automatic update service.

  Have you tried the DVD on a different drive... just like a
  experiment?

  FWIW... Perhaps the media player freeware at the following address
  be worth a try... it will play anything:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

  Hi friend, you must follow the following steps to change your DVD region

  How can I change my DVD region?

  DVD movies are encoded for different regions of the world, and your DVD - ROM drive must be configured for the region appropriate to read the DVD.

  If you have the DVD decoder software installed on your computer, you can usually change the DVD region setting DVD decoder program. Follow the instructions in the help file for the program to change the DVD region setting.

  If you have a software or a DVD decoder installed on your computer, you can use Device Manager to change the DVD region setting in your DVD - ROM configuration:

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
   
  2. in the Hardware tab, click Device Manager.
   
  3. in the list of devices, double-click on CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, click on the DVD drive for which you want to change the region setting and then click Properties.
   
  4. on the DVD region tab, make the desired changes.

  You must be logged on as administrator or be a member of the Administrators group to change the region of the DVD.

  Note that the DVD region for most of the DVD-ROM can be changed up to five times, and the number of available changes lies in the region of the DVD tab. If the tab indicates that you can change the parameter one more time (remaining changes = 1), you will not be able to play DVDs using a DVD region that is different from your last selection. If you miss opportunities to change the setting (change remaining = 0), contact the manufacturer of your DVD-ROM to redefine this value.

  Also install it DVD decoder as a DVD decoder or codec problem might even cause the problem with DVD region code.

  Hello

  Well, as far as I know on the official course, you can change the region settings 5 times.
  In addition, you can check some other topics in the forum.

  Microsoft Fixit Center Beta says:

  The selected drive is not capable is unable to write, if you have multiple CD/DVD players try to use another drive, otherwise you may need to install a CD/DVD burner.

  That's wrong!  I bought & installed Nero Burning ROM 11 & burned successfully DVD + RW & DVD - RW.  Why the Center Fixit to give this answer?

• Help me find the fix to Windows DVD Maker image format. THERE IS A DIFFICULTY!

  OK... so I burned the AVI videos using Windows dvd creation since I put beta tested Vista WAY back when... never have I had this problem to burn a movie that has been set to 16:9 and he's seen out as a 4:3 video. Last week, I reinstalled windows as normal... and a few days later tried to burn an AVI movie. I selected the 16:9 and burned. When it's done I put it in my dvd player and BOOM... black on the left and right. (but from what I gather... is not new for many people)

  So keep in mind that I reinstall Windows approximately every 3-6 months and have never had any problems.

  I am currently (and since a certain time) running windows 7 ult x 64.

  When I reinstall windows the first thing we do is to install my video card. (ATI Radeon 5850 Black Edition) with the center of control of drivers, ect...

  Then I reboot and install Direct X followed CCCP (combined community codec pack) is the only codec pack I use... I've never installed K-lite or all others.

  Then I installed Sony Vegas Pro (video editing software) - added filter in DVD maker.

  Then cinema 4 d R12 (3d animation software) - adds the filter for DVD maker

  Vuze (client bittorrent with HD video player)

  IE 9 no matter what video converter (best program EVER)

  and that is it really.

  After doing this for all these years... Creation of DVD has never failed to work for me.

  HOWEVER this last time I was able to produce anything else than coasters.

  In ADDITION, before this last reinstallation I had installed something to help me read MKV files and I tried to install Halii Media Splitter for some random projects I was working on that. I'm not sure what I was wrong... but my video thumbnails finished a little crushed... as if they were 16:5 If you get what I mean... they were just larger thumbnails video normal 16:9 but they were 2/3rds as great. right now I'm not sure how to achieve this effect again.

  Then. While this problem in case of problem, I noticed that the prevew for DVD maker always displays the video as a 16:9 (which is not a new discovery I know) HOWEVER... I have noticed that when you add a video to DVD maker's miniature aspect in this first window is how the video will end eventually... thus spare you coasters and do not burn if it is 4:3. I found that by adding a video AVI, then that same video converted to WMV. AVI showed 4:3 and 16:9 stood the WMV... also, I burned a trailer for 2 min in the two formatted to see if there was a difference and yes it y a. AVI who appeared as a 4:3 (despite the 16:9 in review and preview "pretending to be 16:9) and the WMV which showed up as 16:9 does infact burn on 16:9 as expected.

  It's upsetting and frustrating because I use to be able to add 16:9 avi videos to DVD maker, and they present themselves as 16:9. I tried even to add a video that I had already burned a few months ago and he has appeared in 4:3 when before reinstalling it is presented as a 16:9... until the devil. Sorry this is so long, but my point, I think he's done.

  There is a solution to this problem...

  its all just get the good codecs incolved kind DVD maker is as it should. It should also be noted that I didn't know yet that there is a Compatibility tab in the options until I started having this problem... (which means that I have NEVER in the past has changed the filters in this tab and I have never had any problems.) I think that my installation I have always used in the past just had good codecs concerned to harmonize with creation of DVD and hit "sweet spot that she were" currently, I'm trying to recreate my relocation and get back to work... when I say that out I'll post back with THE FIX that everyone so desperately need.

  Because... Yes I could convert WMV videos or I could download movie maker and make all this *... but it's the principle... I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO IN THE PAST...... I WOULDN'T DO IT NOW...

  all thoughts.

  its super easy to reinstall windows. Place the disc in... and go. I don't think I could use a picture program of system... simply because I don't want to install the same things every time. and if I add movies or music, or especially photo after that so the picture was taken when I go back to the image they would be lost. from now need me only about 1.5 hours to reinstall windows to start in Finnish.

  the codec I got was

  http://www.XviD.org/downloads.15.0.html

  and it probably won't resolve the problem by itself. the programs I install as Cinema 4 d R12, any video converter, sony vegas pro, all add their own filters in DVD maker... so it could be some of them, it could be all the... I'm not sure... I'll have to look into the issue more. I also installed the windows 7 codec pack and DIVX and for reason, he came back with the same problem. so I reinstalled again without the windows 7 codec pack and its working again.

• Cannot change region DVD

  I changed regions on wmp in region 4 (AUSTRALIA) for region 1 (US) to watch a dvd. He said 4 changes are allowed before getting locked. As this was the only one the first time I went to come. Now I'm trying to return to the region 4 (Australia) and it comes up with an error stating

  "Unable to update region setting. The drive reports that it requires media of the destination (region 4) Please insert the right setting and try again"

  I tried to change with the region 4 dvd in and out of the laptop but still get the same error.
  I checked for updates of pilot etc.

  Tips greatly appreciated

  Hello

  Maybe you have a second hand laptop and the first owner was already changing the region code who knows?

  But in this case you can do nothing. Only, you could try to reinstall Vista, and then try again.

• Cannot change region DVD on the Satellite settings

  Hello

  I'm not very savvy but im having a problem with my computer settings satellite phone in computer science.
  I changed the region of the DVD 4 times and am changing for the last time again to region 2.

  However when I do this it says that I have no administration privileges, but I am the only user on the computer and, therefore, the administrator.

  Anyone know what I can do to get the player to change the region. It is said that there is a change to the left, but do not allow editing.

  Any help would be useful.
  Thank you
  Katie

  I didn t do all the experiments with the evolution of the region, but it is really strange, you were able to change it without any problem and now all of a sudden you need administration rights. It is also possible that the last time the passage of the system not fail that it will be granted by the administrator and because of that there is this security alert.

  Try a new account with the Fund Administrator rights and try to do it again.

  Hi jeremyjones1960,

  1. How many times to change the region settings of the DVD drive on the computer?
  2. You are logged in Windows by using the administrator account?

  Check and make sure that you logged in to the administrator account and check if it helps.

  If you have changed the settings for region of the DVD player more than 5 times then you will not be able to change more.

• Aspire laptop DVD player GONE! SlimType DVD A D58A4SH need a fix for this DVD player

  Is there a fix out there for a problem loading the driver for CD/DVD Acer Aspire of the laptop drive?  I have the Aspire 5334 with DVD Super Multi DL drive.

  I have a Slimtype DVD A D58A4SH player. He worked for a short time when I got the notebook and then it stopped completely.  There was an exclamation point on the list of devices and when I checked to see if the pilot that it has been updated, he said it was the last updated, etc.  BUT still does not.  I tried to roll back - which did not work.  So I uninstalled the drive completely.  Did a restart and it recognizes the DVD drive and started to install the driver for it.  Says the driver installation failed.  The dvd player is no longer listed in Device Manager.  I tried to go to the download page of support/driver from the Acer website for this brand and the computer model - it does not list DVD drivers at all.   So now I'm confused.  It was a Christmas gift from 2011. So I think that the warranty has expired.  So I'm pretty ticked if I need to replace a failed drive which is just came out barely a month outside the warranty of the year.  Someone out there who has a fix for this problem it will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

  I found a FIX for this problem!  Yay!

  But first I want to know, if he wants to play (be compatible) with the reader of disk/optical on my HP laptop?

  It should be compatible. What is the format and type of DVD? Is this a movie or a program on DVD?
