Make sure your dvd palyer is set to play region 1 dvds. My computer never registered our player, and it turned out that it was set to the standard European format. If you live in the US of A (and you want to play dvds that were bought here), it needs to be set to region one.

i use a program called VLC from http://www.videolan.org and i dont need to change any settings it will keep playing any dvd from any country, since i have an acer 3010.

No.  DVDs come with "regional encoding" to prevent piracy.  A European DVD will not play in an American DVD player.

You can try looking for it on amazon.com, E-Bay or half.com. \n\nHowever, you should note some DVDs can only be played in certain regions (i.e. Europe or Canada/USA or Asia). So you might be able to get a DVD of Chess but your DVD player might not be able to play it unless it is an all region DVD player.

different country has different region codes...you need to find out the region code of the dvd and see if it matches your machine...if your not sure, you can google it

I am not the best at this stuff but look at sites giving multiregional hacks or codes.I did my Philips DVP3500 and it worked great. Get the free ones, some people try to charge. Just put in make and model of DVD followed by "hack" or "multinational code"Good luck.

In relation to DVD players, a region code specifies what DVD can be played and from where. DVD's and the players are regionalized, as to where they will operate.\n\nNorth America is region 1. If you have a region 1 DVD, it will only play on a region 1 DVD player.\n\nRegion 5 covers the following areas:\n\nEastern Europe (Former Soviet Union), Indian subcontinent, Africa, North Korea, and Mongolia

I guess you want to have your cake and eat it too. Is it that hard to change the DVD? Why not get a DVD player that holds more than one disc? Also, the Pearl Harbor DVDs are already dual layer (I know since I have copied them to single layer discs) and you will have to compress them if you want to take them to one dual layer disc or two single layer discs. Just take the time to change the DVDs, it's easier.

It's not the graphics card. It's the region settings. Try using VLC media player (which doesn't require the use of downloaded codecs) for free.\n\nIf that doesn't work, download AnyDVD. It will make your DVD's region free and removed all encryption.

It's possible someone might have it either bootlegged or from another region, but the originals are starting to come out here in the U.S. For example ufc 1 and ufc 2 (both titled classics) are on sale now. So maybe in time, the ufc dvds you want will come out.

Region codes are put on DVDs so they can only be played in certain countries. Some players can play DVDs from other countries. I guess it's asking you if you want it to import the chapter titles, since it recognizes the region. not sure though, I've never copied a DVD.
