Hello,
This is the first time I've encountered this sort of situation so I am quite eager to resolve the problem :agree:
First things first. A couple of Region 5 (so it says on the packaging and the discs) DVDs came into my possession recently. Being a curious guy, I've decided to see what kind of protection they have. Imagine the look on my face when I saw the status windows of those respective titles. According to AnyDVD they have no CSS protection and neither they have any region encoding. "Great", I thought, because there would be no need for me to back it up since I would be able to stick it straight into my DVD player (Region 2)
Nothing is this easy in life! I put both of those discs into the player and they were both rejected due to regional limitations. The mystery continues...I swapped the DVD player for another one and the same thing happened!!!
I was able to use CloneDVD2 to make a backup of both and now they play without any problems, but I'm still puzzled. I hope some of you are able to offer a suggestion or 2 why this occurred
Thank you for your help.
P.S. I attach the screenshots of AnyDVD status windows of those titles
