Adding a Region Code to DVD
This is a long shot, but I'll give it a go. For the record, searching this forum and Google produced nothing comprehensible. My understanding of region coding isn't brilliant, but I think I know what I'm asking.
I'm trying to solve playback issues with a standalone DVD recorder/player, and I don't have access to *any* R1 (Region 1) DVDs, so I thought I'd break out Elephants Dream and at least create a pseudo R1 disc (authored NTSC with pulldown), for the time being without the R1 coding. What I'm asking, is this. Is there a way of adding a region code to a DVD image, with ImgBurn for example? Is it added to the VOB titles, or the IFOs, or something else entirely? Any help is appreciated, directions to Amazon are not.

See http://forum.digital-digest.com/show...threadid=45996
Or just use PgcEdit to alter the Region Code (use the Globe icon on the toolbar). Certainly, ImgBurn can't help you - it is a burning app. Regards

DVD Decrypter worked, didn't spot it at first. Thanks all.

Yeah, that reminds me, must go post an ImgBurn feature request in the DVD burning sub-forum.

I'm fairly certain that you'll be advised that IMGBurn (by the author of the "forced out of existence" DVD Decrypter) cannot and will not ever have any capability to remove or alter anything related to copy protection and/or other limitations... |

Open VIDEO_TS.IFO in IFOEdit, and look in the VMGM_MAT sector.
Byte 0x23 is the regional code mask. Any high bit in that byte corresponds to a prohibition on playing the DVD in the corresponding region. For example, 00000000 binary is region-free; 11111101 binary is region 2 only. Is that what you're looking for? |

DVD Decrypter did what I was looking for, but thanks anyway.
