Determining Region Coding on DVD-R

[fatal]

Is there a way to tell what Region Code a DVD-R has been burned in?

Use IFOEdit to access the VIDEO_TS.IFO of the DVD while in the DVD-ROM.

Click on VMGM_MAT in the top panel and look at the lower one at offset 0023h where the Region Code information is stored. IFO Edit should tell you which regions are enabled.

You can do the same thing by opening the .IFO file with a hex editor and checking offset 23h, although it's harder this way. Calculate which regions are enabled in binary form.

For each disabled region, the appropriate bit is set to 1. So, if region 1 is disabled, bit-0 is 1, if region 2 is disabled, bit 1 is set to one.

If a DVD is region 2, then the bitmap is 11111101. If it's Region 1, the bitmap is 11111110.
