My dvdrom has been firmware hacked, using dvdgenie i can get multiregion working fine with powerdvd and windvd...
Using Zoom with Sonic video, powerdvd audio .. and i have problems.. as soon as i try to play a disc (r3 in this case, i'm nativelty r2) and i get a dialog box saying..
"DVD-Video disc cannot be played because the disc is not authored to play in the system region"
This is a windows region yeah, with zoom it doesn't use powerdvd, windvd or sonic to authenticate regions... dvdgenie has stuff in there for changing system region but it also issued some warnings.. it said it was mainly for windows98 (all the dialog boxes are even named for 98) tho the docs mention some support for doing something else with 2k, XP...
I'm cautious as now i think about it, doing the system region change in dvd genie was one of the last things i did before my other install in Zoom got broken with dvds.. i believe the disc in question never worked properly (My neighbour totorro... it seems to cause problems for a lot of players) but this not working i dunno if it was to do with the reg hacks dvd genie did...
Anyways.. my question is.. how do folks go about this.. are there risks... is 2k particularly difficult to do.. I'm going to leave it for now... THanks
