Can anyone point me at a program that'll identify the region of a DVD? I've got a boxed set made in Canada which I think is Region 0 - the box, cases, etc. and the manufacturer's web site don't say, it plays OK in my laptop and PC (both still region 2 locked) but the resolution looks more like NTSC than PAL. My guess is that they produced only one version of the DVD for Canada, France, and possibly the USA, which would mean it would have to be region 0.

I'm not enthralled by the series and want to sell it on eBay, but it's a bit difficult if I'm not sure of the region.


Later - now sorted thanks to [livejournal.com profile] sharikkamur - it's regions 1,2,3,4,5, and 6!

DVD Decrypter (http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_decrypter.cfm) will, amongst other things, tell you what region it is. I use the software from time to time and it's stable and easy to use.

It says it's no longer available - presumably blocked by the DRM legions of darkness.

But I found it on another site.

Turns out the DVD is regions 1,2,3,4,5 and 6!

That'll teach me to scroll down when I find these webpages. :)

DRM legions of darkness - What an apt description!
