Why won't the dvd i bought in france work?

Question

i just tried to watch spiderman 3 which i purchased when i was in france but it will not work. my dvd player says check regional code! is there anyway i will be able to watch this dvd??

Answer 1

If you are in The US, you have to overcome two issues

a) Region code

b) PAL to NTSC conversion

For a) you need to search the internet for a code that may allow you to change the region code on your player

For b) It all depends on the firmware of your  player

It may be easier to watch it on a PC - but again you will need to change the region code of your drive - you can do it up to 5 times I believe.
