After my old Superdrive stopped reading my CD-rs and DVDRW I got a new one installed ( a HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GSA-4166B

but now I can't watch commercial "Hollywood" DVDs......

Can anyone help?
Not able to find where to check where the region codes are.

Thank you!!

Use System Profiler in the Utilities folder to see how OS X thinks it supports for the drive. Look under Hardware --> Disc Burning.

Do you know if that drive is suppose to be supported.
