Hello all! My friend recently came back from England and bought me the super awesome movie "Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging". Unfortunately I live in Canada so we use region 1 DVD's, while in the UK and i'm assuming most of Europe, they use region 2 DVD's. I was able to change my DVD player on my laptop to region two, but you only have a limited number of times to change it to different regions; after that it automatically chooses the region that it is on. I've heard of multi-region DVD players and about something you can do to your DVD player to make it able to play both regions, but I have no idea how to do this. Does anyone have any useful info?

Download and extract the exe. Windows media player classic. Open the vob files individually they are usually the biggest files.

thank-you. okies but I followed you up until opening the vob files. where do i find those? are they on the dvd?

explore the dvd open the video folder

okies, I tried that but the dvd just kinda goes crazy for a sec and then it stops and can't play it.

Where in Canada do you live? I live in Canada too but in Toronto ON. All Region DVDs can be bought here at most Chinese electronic stores for really good prices. You may want to try such locations or try this site:

In My Computer you should be able to see the vob files in the data folder and they should play if you have the codecs.

Do a search for codecs all and download and install them then use the media player I linked to above or download VLC Player.

okies thanks I think I'll try it on my other computer it has VLC and it sort of worked when I tried it, but I'll try playing the VOBs seperately and see if that does anything.
