DVD REGION LIMITATIONS ERROR

Aug 10, 2004 6:21PM PDT

I noticed DVD players for laptops have only a certain amount of times we can actually change the region code. .. i think it's around 4 tries then it will somehow lock itself at the last region.... i was wondering what can be done to do about this problem ? are we supposed to buy a new dvd player for our laptop everytime we finish 4 tries of region code changing ? need to change because i have lots of dvds that are somehow from different parts of the world and so has different region codes.. i am not so sure wether DVD players on PC have the same problem as well, or is it only for laptops ?

An insult.

If you want such, just cross-post your question on a few newsgroups. The result will be far beyond my gentle guidance.
