You use the
General
tab to select the region code, the drive
letter assigned to the DVD-ROM or DVD-ROM/CD-RW
drive, the autoplay default option, and which WinDVD
toolbars are displayed by default.
Region coding is part of the protection system for DVD
content. It divides the world into six regions. The intent is to
enable specific content to be viewed in a specific region. The
current region code of the WinDVD player installed in your
computer is Region 1, comprising the United States and
Canada.
NOTE: Most DVD-ROM or DVD-ROM/CD-RW drives let you
change the region code, usually between one and five times. Once
a drive has reached the limit, the region code cannot be changed
again. Pay careful attention to the
Remaining times until
