British film code prevents play

[skadley]

British film classification code is apparently recorded on a DVD that I borrowed. Samsung player reads it as an invalid region code and won't play. Any way around this?

i'd rip it to a file with makemkv. it will still be 25fps, not a us standard but the file should play ok.

And to answer your 'Classification Code', these are U,PG,15 and 18 (plus 18R restricted for sale in certain shops). NONE of these can be encoded on to a dvd since they are not part of the dvd standard.

So you appear to have confused Classification Code to Region Code - 2 for the UK whereas it is 1 for the US. That is part of the dvd standard and a Region 1 player will refuse to play the disk.
