Hi all!

I just got a birthday present from a friend in Hong Kong, a 21 disc chinese historical documentry DVD ^^

He spent for fotune in it, and post it all the way to Australia, and now i have to somehow read it.

How do I do it on my thinkpad, it just refused to play it at all.

Thx in Advance

Nelson

You could try VLC, it will decode without a region change if I remember right.

Open My Computer, right-click on your DVD drive and choose Properties > Hardware > choose DVD drive again > Properties > DVD Region. You can change it from that screen. You can also do this in Windows Device Manager.

Be aware you can only change it 4 more times until it can no longer be changed. You have a couple of options so that you do not have to keep changing back and forth. One option I would think would be to rip it into another format with a program such as ImToo DVD ripper. Another option would be to buy a USB DVD drive (or another Ultrabay Slim DVD drive) and dedicate it to your 21 disc chinese historical documentry DVD. A third option is to use a DVD region hack (which I am not familiar with).

AnyDVD or DVDRegionFree will work as well.

You might also try DVD Genie, which will do the trick, if the drive is not hardware locked:
