DVD Decrypter and set region code????

[werty316]

I just bought my 1st dvd burner and I am wondering about his popup that came up in DVD Decrypter.



What does this mean. I live in Canada and I didn't know I had to set the region code for my DVD burner in DVD Decrypter. I know this is dumb but would it matter if I set a region or not. Also I don't see Region 0 anywhere. Any reasons why?

most DVD rom, burners and players have set region codes and will check the DVD that you are trying to play/rip has the same region code. So a region 1 player will play region 1 DVDs but not region 2 or 4. Region 0 means that is region free which means it doesn't matter. There are region free DVDs and players., as for rom/burners you can go to the following site to update your firmware on you DVD Rom/burner to make region free.

So then I should set my dvd burner to whatever country/region I am in so this doesn't pop up everytime?

Yes. This will restrict the playing of DVD's to those of the selected region, but ripping of DVD's of any region will still be possible.
