Samsung DVD Drive Hell
-
Hey guys, I have a Samsung Dual Layer DVD Writer and the other day I put in a movie DVD in and it asked me to select either Region 2 or 4 (in PowerDVD) and it diabled the other region choices. It has never done this before...so I selected my region (Region 2 South Africa) and it says "This disk is inhibited from playing because of area limit." This is strange because I am in region 2 so I went to regional settings and it shows the DVD drive is on Region 1!!! So I tried changing it to Region 2 (South Africa) and it keeps giving an error message "Cannot change region settings, put correct region DVD in drive or use Admin rights. What should I do to undo this? I can downloaded the firmware from the samsung but I don't know the model number!

Hey howzit? Even if I get the model number...that still doesn't solve my problem. Will running firmware software clear the region codes associated with the drive or not?

Do a search, there are often *fixes* for specific drive models. The tigress is here :-D
