Hello,
I live in NTSC land but have goood friends living in PAl country. I am generating videos for them to view. I was viewing the finished PAL video with Windows Media Player. .Something happened that seems to have removed the abilility to play DVDs from Windows Media Player.

My request is what can I do to play PAL DVDs again?

Thanks

You need to buy and install DVD Region+CSS Free enables you to watch and copy any region-coded/CSS-encrypted DVD movies on any DVD drive! It fully supports region-protected (RPC2) DVD drives, and does not require any firmware modifications. It will even work if you have used up your region counter and can no longer change the DVD drive's region.
Please see

Region protection only applies to commercially produced DVD's. If you made the DVDs yourself then they would not have region protection. Computers are not fussy about PAL or NTSC so the problem lies with Media Player not whether it is a PAL or NTSC DVD so there is no need to buy and install software to remove Region Protection.
Is there anything you can think of that you did with the computer recently that may have affected the software environment? Added software, reconfigured the hardware...anything?

Hi

Afaik most dvd players over here in Pal country will play Ntsc dvds.
I have two players with on problems.

Have you tried sending your pals a Ntsc disc.
Could save you a lot of work.

Trevor,
Thanks for the suggestion. I will enclose a NTSC DVD in the next shipment just in case. You are dead bang right on when you suggest that it would save me a lot of work if my friend's player would play NTSC.
