Sample Properties dialog box with the General tab on top
Setting general properties
You use the General tab to select the region code, the drive
letter assigned to the DVD-ROM drive, the autoplay default
option, and which WinDVD toolbars are displayed by
default.
Region coding is part of the protection system for DVD
content. It divides the world into six regions. The intent is to
enable specific content to be viewed in a specific region. The
current region code of the WinDVD player installed in your
computer is Region 1, comprising the United States and
Canada.
NOTE: Most DVD-ROM drives let you change the region code,
usually between one and five times. Once a drive has reached the
limit, the region code cannot be changed again. Pay careful
attention to the Remaining times until permanent box on the
General properties tab.
