Region testing

[DrrnHarr]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum but I wanted to know how to indicate that a DVD works in a specific region.

I own a Region 1 player (being here in the United States).

I own the DVD for "The Fourth Protocol" listed here:
https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/The-Four...8483/#Overview

Amazon lists the movie as All Regions which I do not know if its accurate. Blu-ray.com lists the regions as untested.

However the DVD does play on my Region 1 player.

Thank you.

I don't there an option to set the region status for DVDs here,

for test you could use PC with a copy of powerdvd and cycle through the Regions to see which ones gives region Errors

A lot of Asian DVDs are ALL regions or flagless making them region free. Although if that's your entry listed you've put it in as a US release, it should be with the Korean country of origin.

Remember lots of PC DVD drives only have a limited number of region changes before the drive becomes locked, so switching between them might not be the best idea in the world. If you put the DVD in the drive it should say what region it is (if it's not the default one), you don't have to switch back-and-forth. I'm almost certain the DVD in question is ALL regions or flag (region) less.

That's impossible there is no Korean option in the Blu-ray.com drop-down menu

There's a South Korea option for the country field.

Yes. Sorry DrrnHarr, I should have said South Korea.
