You can verify the region code of the content by looking at the region code symbol
on the back of the content packaging.
Start WinDVD by inserting the DVD into the drive. The region code is
automatically set and you can view the movie. This is the initial setting.
After the region code has been set, if you insert a DVD with a different region
code, you are prompted to change the region code. You can change the region code
from your initial setting up to four times.
After the region code has been changed from its initial setting four times, it is fixed
and can no longer be changed. Thereafter, you can play DVD content only from
that region.
To display the region code status, click the WinDVD Properties button on the
WinDVD user interface. The General tab contains this information.
