Watching a DVD Movie
DVD Regional Codes:
Regional coding is part of the protection strategy for DVD content.
The world is divided into six regions. Specific content can be viewed
in a specific region. For example, Region 1 (U.S. and Canada)
content should be viewed only in Region 1. The DVD Movie Player
Program application is also region-specific.
For Windows 98 installations, you select a region as part of the
Windows 98 setup procedure. You must select a region to play DVD
content. After you select the region, you can play content only for
that region. Be sure to select your correct region.
| The Windows 95 user need to install the region code program using
| the ThinkPad Customization CD. Make sure that region code
| program matches the region code number on the DVD movie. You
| can not play a DVD movie if these codes do not match. Refer to the
| following table for region code.
| For Windows 98, the system will lock to the region of the first
| encrypted DVD played. Make sure the first DVD content played is
| from the appropriate region. You can verify the region code of the
| content by looking at the region code symbol on the back of the
| content packaging.
|
If the first DVD played is from a region other than the region
|
you selected during the set up procedure outline just explained,
|
your system will no longer play DVD content. Contact the
|
computer manufacturer.
