Re: wrong region code for dvd playback



That sounds pretty wacky for sure !

Are you using the NVidia Purevideo DVD decoder, or some other MPEG2
decoder ? I kind of assume their decoders should interoperate with
their hardware, but it's always been the cases AFAIK the region code
is determined by the disk and the DVD drive firmware, not the graphics
card

creative fatality platinum sound card,cooler master power pro 1000 power
supply, 4 gb OCZ platinum memory..i'm still learning alot and just found that
if i take the gpu's out of Sli mode the DVD's play, but in Sli mode , the
wrong region code is detected, not sure if this applies to all Sli enabled
graphic's cards or just mine. i'll check into it though. but WOW what a pic

when i try to play a dvd in either WMP or windows media center it says my
system is set to "region 8" and i need to set it to region 1 for playback. I
have gone into the DVD CD rom players and they are both set to Unites States
region ( this is region 1). What am I missing here?
