Enhancement request - Region setting

[DVD_Tinker]

Not sure which forum this belongs in (Mods please move if needed)

I was disappointed that AnyDVD failed on 4 of 5 DVDs this weekend. Very suspicious after just updating the AnyDVD version.
Researching the forums I saw many (MANY!) replies stating "set the drive region code".
Erroneously proud of myself for having already checked that setting in AnyDVD, I knew that couldn't be my problem.

Even the popup help confirmed I'd completed that necessary step.


Then, after James responded with that same phrase I knew additional research was needed.
There was no indication that AnyDVD had independent settings for the region.

Please add a line to the settings page so future users will know there are 2 settings with the same/similar name



Or, at a minimum, update the popup help to explain these dual entries.

in case anybody stumbles onto this... in Windows set the Device region in Device Manager

That message specifically states the region ANYDVD will use, not the region your DRIVE will use The fact that you updated anydvd is just a coincidence, nothing else. New DVD protections are handled by anydvd versions.

Yes, as of today *I* understand that difference. My suggestion is to make it clearer in the tool itself.

(oh, and I mention the 4 of 5 fails to indicate my incentive to begin research)

I believe that request has already been made a while ago, i THINK @James said he'd look into it to even have anydvd set the region for the user. Not sure, nor any promised if it can be done.
