REGION 2 DVDs

[audi]

I have a region 2 DVD and am using Mac the ripper to rip it but when i playback in my dvd player its telling me the region is incorrect??
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong
Thanks

Region Code Enhancement (RCE) http://www.dvdtalk.com/rce.html is a possibility if so set MTR's "RCE Region" to region two when ripping.
This http://www.mrbass.org/mac/dvd/mactheripper/ may also be of use. Also according to that guide is the "New region" (for the copy on your hard drive) set to ALL, this applies mostly to hardware playback with a DVD player and television NOT a computer.

ok will try that thank you

Hi
yes NEW REGION is set to ALL
I still can't get this to work though

[loster]

Did you try setting the RCE? Also try playing the files back in VLC.

Is it a Matshita Drive?

[Noahtuck]

Are you by any chance trying to play it in a "sony" dvd player
Assuming you mean your standalone player seeing as you were not real specific.

[audi]

Yes it works in VLC and the DVD player on the computer
Yes I am trying to play in back on a Sony SLV-D55OPP stand alone DVD player ??

ITs a pioneer drive ?

Do you mean region as in PAL vs NTSC. If the disc is from Europe then it might not play here.

This forum thread tells how to convert the disc over, if you really want to do that much work. It would be easier to buy a new tabletop player.

Yeah my new dvd player refuses to play pal even though it's a cheap one.

[audi]

Yes I thinks its easier just to buy a DVD player that plays both!
Thank you

You could flash it region free.

How do I "Flash" it

[loster]

that only applies to the play back device and you should look under dvd hacks https://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks for your model the result may involve flashine with a specific cd or entering a code using the remote

Download myDVDEdit (free)

Open the ripped file in myDVDEdit and look to the lower right window. Tab across the top - cllick General, tab left hand side, click Dvd, and this will give you a list of the regions it should play in. Make sure ALL are checked, or do so yourelf. Save this file and then burn.

I recommend to not check the region 7, some players (and DvdToOne) do not like that.
