Japanese Transformers DVD to play on Computer???

Postby SentinelPrime878 » Tue Oct 09, 2007 8:29 am

Hi! I am trying to play a Japanese Transformers Masterforce DVD on my Dell computer. It acts like it is going to play the DVD through Windows Media Player, but then it displays a codec error? What is that? And how do I get my computer to play this DVD? Is there a series of code numbers I can key in to unlock this codec? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is your DVD drive set to Region Code 2 or region code free?
The Japanese DVD is most like Region 2 and requires the DVD drive to be set accordingly. (The USA has region code 1.)

Japan isn't region one as far as I know. You can probably use the dvd as a light but deadly throwing weapon if nothing else :-?

You are going to have the change the region code capability on your PC. If it's anything like my Mac, you can only do it a small number of times, unless, you know how to override it.

Other than that, see what region code the discs are and search for a converter out there on the interweb.

Simple answer. Do like I did. Import a Region 2 DVD+R drive, buy an adapter if needed, and install as a secondary Disc drive on your computer. Problem solve-ed.

Why import? Get one cheap from the next computer store and set it to Region 2. That's what I did just the other way around.

Now I have the problem, that I need a third region (ordered the Australian DVDs, Region 4, why can't Australia share Region with China, my PS2 got that.)
