Dvd what?
-
when i went to buy some discs for dvd, the guy told me there's tis positive and negative stuff for dvd 1. Said that if i bought the negative(-) discs and my comp is using positive ones(+), it would not work at all. How do i actually check where my comp is using positive(+) or negative(-) dvds? please help

hmmm..so its like the cover of the dvd discs will write dvd9: 4.78gb or dvd10:4.78gb, something like that?Originally posted by aku1b0d0:dvd9 and dvd10 work for all comp. -
Basically, DVD are coded into different region codes to prevent, for example, a American DVD playing on a Singapore machine. This is to prevent sales lost due to consumers buying a DVD produced from a different region.
Region 1 is american and region 3 is asian, which is what we have. If you have Windows Media Player, you can set your region code, but only a specified amount of time, whereby if bypassed, would cause the region to lock on forever on the last used region.
I recommend going for region 3 dvd's as they are cheaper and our player supports them.

There is a logo that you can see on the spindle of some DVD's.Originally posted by cockaholic:haha, thats great, but how do i know i bought the region 3 dvds instead of the American dvd??
It looks like a globe with a number in it. A 3 or a 1.
Another thing is that the packaging of code 1 dvd's are usually more attractive and better quality. -
