[QUOTE="dsarath, post: 1318386, member: 220842"] Hi there, I'm onto the last change on my DVD Player on my MacBook. It's currently set to Region 1 because I watched an American TV box set but I want to make the final change to Region 2 as I'm from the UK. However, when I click to change the setting the DVD player freezes. I don't get an error message, it just gives me the wheel and I have to Force Quit the entire thing. I've searched extensively for some help, but all I've heard is that using a purely Region 2 DVD will fix it. Nonetheless, because the DVD player freezes whenever I ask it to switch region, this doesn't work for me. Similarly, I can't play any DVDs in VLC player as an alternative for some reason. Can anyone give me [B]any[/B] advice on how to fix it? My job revolves around watching DVDs almost every day so this is an urgent issue and if I can't resolve it then I'm going to have to get a new laptop. I know you need some details, so I think this is what you all ask for, right? Hitachi HTS543216L9SA02: [I] Capacity: 160.04 GB (160,041,885,696 bytes) Model: Hitachi HTS543216L9SA02 Revision: FB2AC52F Serial Number: 090710FBE203BNGDU6VF Native Command Queuing: Yes Queue Depth: 32 Removable Media: No Detachable Drive: No BSD Name: disk0 Rotational Rate: 5400 Medium Type: Rotational Partition Map Type: GPT (GUID Partition Table) S.M.A.R.T. status: Verified Volumes:[/I] Thanks.
