I have a HP DVD840i 16x16 DVD RW Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter and...well I have DVDs that I got from america and I changed the region that one two many times and its stuck on america rather than UK/Japan. Is there anyway to over ride this firware program so I can get back the UK region setting. I dont wana have to buy another DVD drive for UK and leave the lightscribe as USA. If I write DVD with a drive thats set to the USA region does that mean it will write them in USA format or is it only set to read USA format DVDs?
i use DVD Region+CSS Free to unlock all the regions just do a google on it it dont matter about regions for dvd/cd writing
Head on over to CDfreaks - they will sort you out with some good programs to use. Some of the popular ones include DVDRegionFree as above and AnyDVD too.
