unable to play some dvd's
Posted: 17 Apr 2007 03:06
I am based in the UK but due to work I am travelling a lot and as a result I often have to have the region code switch to the country I am visiting whenever I use my dvd player that came with my osx system
I've now had to use VLC to watch my dvd's but i have had problems playing a lot of them - the region code 0 ones play fine and i have tried a bunch of region code 2 dvd's (PAL) - most don't seem to work yet a few do which has ledft me very confused
any pointers in the right direction??
this was the error message i was getting
