WARNING: You can change countries/regions only five times
before the country/region code locks and becomes permanent.
Once the code locks, you can play DVDs from that country/region
only. If the country/region code locks, and you need help, contact
Support.
WinDVD is not pre-set to a particular country/region — the country/region code
of the first DVD movie you play determines your DVD country/region.
For example, if you play a DVD with a country/region 1 code, WinDVD sets the
current country/region of your DVD player to 1. If you later play a DVD that is
coded for a different country/region, WinDVD asks if you want to set this as the
current country/region.
