[SLUG] DVDs on linux
Hi all, I've recently bought a DVD-ROM for my computer, and so far it works fine (don't have a DVD to test it against yet, though :) But I was just wondering, should I only buy DVDs from australian shops? I believe there is something called a region limitation. Does this apply to DVD-ROMs using software decoders? Is DeCSS something different entirely? How do I find out/change the region of my player in Linux? Thanks, Ian. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

You probably should have done a little research before buying, as some dvd players are more difficult to make region free than others. It typically involves a firmware upgrade or downgrade.
