Qosmio G20: DVD region Code?

Hello

I am about to purchase a Qosmio G20 wasn't what I just learned today that they won't be available mid-2005 in Belgium.

However, in preparation since then, I have a few questions:

Because the Qosmio is a DVD playback mode without having to start Windows, this means that the region will be probably set somewhere in the Bios for a given region.

Travel laptop users and my partner is American, so we have DVD region 1 and 2.

Are there any evolution of the WinDVD software when running on Qosmio the failing lock a region code after X play. I've never understood that laptops (mobile systems) have the same restrictions as the reception of readers of DVD/entertainment (whow by the way no one knows!)

So, how can we play the two regions on the Qosmio G20 or anything that will be available for the Belgium.

Thank you
Danny

The bounding can be changed 5 times.

After the last selected region Code is saved in the DVD player.

But also, there are a lot of programs (Freeware) that help make your life easier and work around this Limitation.

The only thing that you can do this through precaution is to google all over the place.

Good bye

    b. double-click on CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, click on the DVD drive that you want, and then click Properties.
    c. on the DVD region tab, make the desired changes.

    Note: To configure your DVD drive to play discs from other regions, select a geographic area from the list of regions. As a general rule, you must select the region in which you reside. It is not often necessary to change the setting again.

    Important: The region can change only a limited number of times. When changes remaining equals 1, and you select a new region, an alert is displayed to warn you that after this, you only will be able to play DVDs from that region. Be aware that you will not be able to change the region setting for some DVD hardware and software decoders.

  • Satellite Pro M40: Can't watch DVD-> DVD region code locked

    Hello

    I know this has been asked before, but there must be a solution...

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M40 with a CARPET * a DVD UJ - 841S drive. I used my 5 times to change regions, and now I'm stuck on NTSC. I read on this forum (and others) that it is simply not possible to unlock the region once the 5 times have exhausted.

    Is it possible to copy the DVD (film) on my hard drive and watch it then?
    There must be a way!

    Any information would be great, thanks.
    See you soon,.

    Hello

    As mentioned it of not possible to unlock the DVD player on a legal way.
    Of course, I found many sites that suggest that it of possible to unlock the firmware flash drive.
    But believe me; It is not desirable and very risky!
    You may damage the disc and then you can not read or burn CD or DVD media!

    I put t know if it is possible to copy the DVD to the HDD in a simple way. I never did.
    But it of possible to reduce the DVD to the smaller size, then copy it to the HARD drive.
    For this procedure, I used DVD shrink. You can check.

  • On Qosmio G20 DVD player does not work

    On my laptop dvd player does not work perfectly.
    I can watch DVDs and CDs, but I can't burn CDs or DVDs at all.

    This laptop is a former view model and think that when I bought the store I bought it since deleted most of the information

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Hello

    There are two possible reasons why you are not able to copy anything to the CD or DVD.

    First, it may be possible that the drives used are not entirely compatible.
    In such cases, it s always advisable to test different CD and DVD from different manufacturers.

    Secondly, the issue could be related to a defective laser lens; in many cases, this can happen because of a physical constraint. If the laser lens can not calibrate in a good position, then the player will not be able to handle the inserted discs.
    This could be the worst case, because this issue is not repairable. Just a STRANGE replacement could help.

  • Satellite C850/074 - question about limitation Code DVD region

    I live in Western Australia (region DVD Code 4). I just bought a Satellite C850/074. I inserted a DVD (The Bourne Identity). Message:
    ' + This DVD can not run because your DVD region Code is 4 and the region Code for the DVD 2 + ".

    There is a procedure by which changed from 4 to 2, but this area Code is possible 4 times. After the 4th change DVD region Code is the Code inserted for the 4th change.

    I had this problem with a DVD player, I bought over 10 years ago. I changed my old DVD by finding a code of procedure on the net which allowed the region Code will be replaced with region Code 0, who plays all DVDs.

    Since then, I bought two DVRs of pioneer who play all DVDs regardless of region Code.
    I thought that this ancient thought was a thing of the past. Now, I find that Toshiba seems to be disconnected curent DVD playback devices.

    Is there a method by which the region Code can be changed to region 0 Code which plays all region Codes?

    This Toshiba laptop does not offer a method of changing the number: it offers a choice of countries, which continues to limit the DVD that can be played and the number of changes to 4.
    Help please
    Bob Parry

    > Is there any method by which the region Code can be changed to region 0 Code which plays all region Codes?
    No, there is no method that allows you to change this settings always.

    Of course, you can find many more tips in the world wide web how overcome these settings, but I do not recommend trying this. Most people say that a firmware update is necessary, but use of this incompatible firmware will damage the CD/DVD drive so its definitely not recommended.

  • Region code of the DVD player

    The DVD on my Pavilion A1375A Media Center PC drive is set to region 1 - I am in Australia (region 4).

    I can't set it to region 4.

    I asked HP to sell me a new DVD player, but they do not know what the new discs region code will be and asked that I contact Microsoft and ask:

    (a) area code would change once a factory of re - configure?

    (b) what would be the new replacement drive region code?

    It seems strange to me that HP can't?

    Hoping someone can help,

    all good wishes,

    David

    Hello

    You must talk to people bad at HP since it is not Windows that
    decides what optical drives of regions are defined.  HP provides probably hundreds
    readers of your region (really the thousands).

    It is by design.

    As much as I know HD-DVD movies do not support region codes.
    Support is free region code and that's why I think you should be able to watch a HD-DVD movie, BUT you need a DVD player special as WinDVD8 example
