Dear Friends, Greetings. I was wondering if u could help me out with this problem. It seems that my Power DVD Player 5 of my DVD-RAM of my Computer -- Drive E has got some how automatically fixed to Region Code 5. Now, because of that I cannot play any DVD's that do not belong to Region 5. Region 5 is essentially India, Africa, Etc. I cannot play DVD's that have been manufactured in the United States, Canada, Europe, etc. Is there anyway i can reset my Power DVD Player 5/Cyberlink of my P.C manufactured by SAMSUNG to Region Code 0 so that i can play DVD's no matter where they are manufactured irrespective of the Country of Origin ??Can I reset "The Power DVD Player to Region 0 ?? so that i can play any DVD -- which i cannot at the moment. I get a message saying that i can play DVD's only of Region 5. Thanking u in advance, I am quite illiterate in these matters, so your help would be appreciated.

GabrielPower DVD is a software that plays DVD. The region encyption you are talking about happens at the hardware level. I am not sure if Power DVD can do much for you, I think it's a setting that's "permanent" in DVD drives. I use linux, where such a restriction does not exist; but I do remember being hassled by it back in my windows days. At the time there were a couple of alternatives: Flashing your DVD drive's firmware (risky sometimes) and using DVD decyption softwares, which wouldn't work sometimes... I don't know what the present scenario is and some windows user here might be able to help you. Good luck.

DVD Region Code - Cracking
Haven't tried any of the above ideas. The only thing I have ever flashed is the MB bios, and I am always scared when I do it.
In India, most hindi movies are 'All region' discs. And english movies etc. are predominantly region 3 discs. You do get some region 5 discs or region 1 and 2 if some one gets them from abroad. I have one drive set on 3 and another on 2. So no need to get too jumpy about what to do when some region encoded disc comes about.
As for ramaseshan's linux idea, I haven't tried it. No harm in doing it if it saves the region changing nonsense.

Dear Cool_Techie_TVM,
Greetings. Could u "DESPERATELY" help me please ?
I have googled regarding what u have said but i do not know what is considered safe and not safe "SOFTWARE" regarding resetting the DVD Ram, if i play a DVD now, i get a message which says "Only DVD's of Region 5 can be played".
I also get some error number and message which says that the Region Code has been permanently fixed or automatically fixed.
I cannot understand how this could have taken place as i was never given 5 chances to change the Region Code !!
I just played an English Language DVD made in India once, and after that i cannot play any DVD's made in any other countries.
Is there any way I can make a DVD Player or my current DVD Player Region Free that is Region 0 (No Restrictions).
Region 1 is U.S.A. AND CANADA.
Can anyone please help me regarding this situation ??
I am desperately looking for any kind of help !!
