Hi there,
I recently got a new Macbook Pro to replace a damaged one. The first time I put in a DVD it asked me which region I wanted to set the drive to, I set it to 2 for Europe. I tried to burn a disc image to DVD, one that I had burned many times before successfully on my old machine (it's exactly the same as it was retrieved from timemachine) and when I open the burned disc in DVD player on my Macbook Pro it says not permitted. It also won't play in VLC or on VLC on my PC. Strangely enough, it plays fine in my regular DVD player that's hooked up to the TV.
It's also worth mentioning other discs play fine (films I have bought etc).
So I have no idea what's happening. Does it sound like a problem with the drive? I also don't know how to access the original disc region pop up to make sure it was definitely set to region 2, though I assume it is as it plays on the TV.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Any help greatly appreciated!
Many thanks!
Laura
