WeirP Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) Hi, I've used ImgBurn to create a .iso file from a DVD folder containing the necessary files for a DVD video. However, when trying to play the .iso file (after mounting it)in Windows Media Player (WMP) it tells me that it has the wrong region code. WMP was quite happy to play the files from the DVD folder. Anyone know how I can find the region code that is actually embedded in the .iso file? Many thanks.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Anyone know how I can find the region code that is actually embedded in the .iso file? There's no such thing. Try playing the disc (mounted image) in the likes of 'Media Player Classic - Home Cinema' instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPC says "Incompatible disc and decoder regions" (MPC wanted me to install latest DirectX which I did. Don't know why my systems wasn't up to date anyway). Thanks P.S. Tried MPC opening the original .vob file and it was quite happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Playing the VOB isn't the same as playing the IFO. The region checks will only take place when playing the DVD Video disc properly (i.e. via the IFO). Your virtual drive might be emulating a region 1 device and the decoder might be set for region 2 (or vice-versa). Make sure the virtual drive is set for region 2. (you can do it via DT's system tray tool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried clicking on the .ifo file (from the HDD not the emulated drive) and WMP was happy playing that. I have another .iso file that happily plays however, if I use Opti-Drive Control to look at the physical drive/disk it tells me that the .iso that won't play is a CD and the one that will play is a DVD-ROM. This is despite Windows explorer telling me that they are both DVD-ROM drives. The size of the .iso that won't play is just 140Mb, if that make any difference.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Oooooh, if it's a small image (less than 1GB in size), DT will emulate a CD-ROM rather than a DVD-ROM. Mount the MDS that ImgBurn created rather than the ISO and you'll be ok. It'll force DT to emulate a DVD-ROM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very speedy response and fix. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
