I am thrilled to report the transformer arrived safe and sound and is doing its job, driving my Zujirishi bread maker, like a dream. Thank you very much for your efforts to get it shipped. As per the subject - your customer service is awesome , your website is awesome as are you prices - sold - you have a new customer! Jennifer F. Jeff H. Much thanks Trevor Thomas. As advertised J. How can I tell what region a DVD is?
Region code. Informal term meaning "playable in all regions". Region 0 discs will play on any DVD player. All DVD players sold in the U. Region code numbers are on the back of each DVD package. Coding is a tool to protect copyright and film distribution rights. This is because movies are sometimes released in theaters in different parts of the world at various times throughout the year.
A summer blockbuster in the U. If that occurs, the movie's DVD version may be out in the U. Also, copyright is not the same in every country, so by limiting DVDs by region, it also protects the copyright holder.
While not as popular as in the recent past, creating your own DVDs is not impacted by region coding. There is no further region code restriction on home-recorded DVDs. Be aware your DVD commercially-bought collection might not play if you move to another country in a DVD player also from that country.

These converters are intended to be used with certain television sets that have automatic vertical hold adjustment, and can overcome the vertical hold problem by themselves. If your television set cannot do this, then such converters will not perform all the conversions you need.
I also tried inputting an NTSC signal to it, and the converter automatically recognized it. Region codes are enforced on all recent computer DVD drives. DVD drives manufactured before January 1, do not enforce them. Note that some companies that produce DVDs have introduced special protections intended to prevent piracy, and that some of these make it difficult or impossible to view certain DVDs on certain computer DVD players. Another is "WinDVD". These software packages set up a region code in the DVD drive when they are installed.
The DVD drive does allow its region code to be changed, but only five times. If a user inserts a DVD disk that has a region code different from the one specified when the software was installed, it will display the following alert:. However, it will decrement the counter, so next time this situation occurs the dialog box will say "Region Setting Counter: 3 times remaining". After the region code has been changed the fifth time, it will no longer be possible to change it.
Fortunately, there are software packages that allow DVD-playing software to bypass the region code. This software package allows DVD-playing software to bypass the region code even if the number of changes allowed by the DVD drive has been exhausted. I tested the trial version of this package, and I was able to play DVDs having region codes "1", "2", and "4", which were the only ones I owned and was able to test.
If someone is able to investigate this and send me the information, I would be grateful. Of course, region codes are not a problem for Linux users. The Linux platform has a number of multimedia players that can play DVDs, including "xine", "kaffeine", etc. These software packages have the capability of pretending that the DVD has whatever region code the DVD drive requires:.
Unfortunately, "xine" is not available in the form of precompiled binaries, that is, it cannot simply be downloaded and installed: For legal reasons it must be built from source code.
Region code "0" is an informal way of saying that all region codes are set, which is equivalent to the absence of a region code. There is not really a region code "0".
