1-2IBM ThinkPad DVD Ultrabay 2000 Drive: User ’s Guide
DVD region codes
Regional coding is part of the scheme for protecting the contents of a
DVD. The world is divided into six regions so that specific content can
be viewed only in the region where it is appropriate. For example,
content for Region 1 (U.S. and Canada) can be viewed only in Region 1.
WinDVD is also region-specific.
You can verify the region code of the content by looking at the region
code symbol on the back of the content packaging.
Region codeRegion
1U.S. and Canada
2Europe, Middle East, South Africa, and Japan
3Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Korea
4Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand
5Former Soviet Union, the rest of Africa, and India
6People’s Republic of China
Start WinDVD by inserting the DVD into the DVD drive. The region code is
automatically set and you can see the movie. This is the initial setting.
After the region code has been set, if you insert a DVD whose region code is
different, you are prompted if you want to change the region code. You can
change the region code from your initial setting up to four times.
After the region code has been changed from its initial setting four times, it is
fixed and can no longer be changed. Thereafter, you can play DVD content
only from that region.
To display the region code status, do the following:
1. In the WinDVD window, click on the WinDVD Properties button.
2. Click the General tab.
Starting WinDVD
To start WinDVD, do the following:
1. Click Start → Programs → Intervideo WinDVD.
2. Click Intervideo WinDVD.
The “DVD movie player” window appears. For more information on how
to play the DVD movie player, see the help for WinDVD.
Part 1. About the DVD Ultrabay 2000 Drive1-3
If you want to watch a DVD movie on your TV you must have support for
s-video. Refer to the information provided with your computer.
Notes:
1. Your computer has been configured to provide the highest quality of audio
and video playback obtainable with the available system resources. You can
alter the default settings by changing the video resolution setting within the
Control Panel of Windows 95 or Windows 98. Some systems do not have
enough resources to provide full-quality audio and video playback at all
resolution settings. If you experience poor playback performance, adjust the
resolution to a lower setting.
2. Audio or video streams are decoded by software. The audio and video
subsystems need to be fully functional and enabled.
