Hi all,
I have a BENQ Joybook S72 laptop with a Matshita UJ-840S drive, running firmware 1.5.
My OS is WINXP SP2.
Now I can't read discs other than region 2 (the region set by my DVD)... Tried different discs but I always get that long AnyDVD message clearling stating MATSHITA and the problems I might run into...
An example:
Summary for drive E: (AnyDVD 6.1.7.4)
MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-840S 1.50 503110KME1930002772
Drive (Hardware) Region: 2
Media is a DVD.
Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 2 (opposite)
Size of first Layer: 2078576 sectors (4059 MBytes)
Total size: 4143012 sectors (8091 MBytes)
Video DVD (or CD) label: MY_NAME_IS_EARL_S1_D2
Media is CSS protected!
Video Standard: NTSC
Media is locked to region(s): 1!
It's an NTSC Region 1 dvd...
Could it be that I just have no luck with this drive and I should get a different one installed or is there any workaround available for this?
Thanks in advance,
Bernard.
