>Subject: Need DVDs from Regions 4, 5 and 6


Hi all,

I have been trying to lock down our lab computer DVD drives to specific
regions. Most are set to region 1 and 2 already, but I want at least one
machine for each region. I can't seem to get my hands on any DVDs from
regions 4-6. These are PCs running Windows XP, and I have not found a way
to lock them to a specific region without a disc from that region in the
drive. Region-free discs won't work, nor do DVDs that I burned myself using
DVD Studio Pro (and set to a specific region).

I found some DVDs at our campus library which said on the box "Region 5",
for example, but would in fact play on any region. So you can't always
trust the packaging.

First off, if anyone knows a trick that I don't know on how to do this,
please let me know.

Secondly, if anyone has a DVD from any of those regions which will not play
on standard American DVD players and that I could borrow, please contact
me. I will pay the postage costs for you.

Thanks!
