But do remember most DVDs you purchase are for a single Region, eg Region 1
for US, Region 2 for Europe, Region 4 for Australia.
Your DVD drive is set your particular region. You have 5 changes of region
available. After the 5th change the drive will be locked on that last
region.
There is software that will overcome this:

my system only supported PAL and that NTSC might unconfigure something or
other. I needed to check this out. I guess I can go ahead now. thanks
