We have installed PCs with DVD players in many classrooms with projectors. I noticed that differently coded DVDs will work, but the use of these DVDs will eventually "lock" the hardware into one code. I am concerned that use by instructors and students will unwittingly lock the hardware into one region. What happens when a DVD "locks" into a code anyway? Does anyone have any tips, advice, or university policies that would address this issue? Michael Shaughnessy Washington and Jefferson College www.washjeff.edu/german/
