Well, here I sit with egg quite unattractively visible all over my face! So now I know! Last year I wrote here some well-reasoned arguments why European video distributors would NOT regionalize their products (Why would they be so foolish as to limit a product to such a small market?!?!). Nevertheless, here I am on my way back to the store here in Bordeaux, France, hoping that customer service will allow me to return the two DVDs I purchased just two short hours ago. I had thought (How silly of me!!?!) that even with the Region 2 bit set, I should be able to play the discs on our Toshiba Tecra 750DVD. I am working to find out where the code is set for PCs: on the DVD-ROM drive itself or in the software player. I just thought you might like to know.
