New here.
Rental major studio discs from Hollywood Video are marked Region 1 on
box and on disk. Will not playback on Philips DVD player (player
message says, "Disc error, manually eject disk, playback may not be
enabled on this disc.")
These rentals will playback on my HP laptop and on wife's iBook. Philips
claims that although the disk is marked Region One, it may have been
made outside the U.S. and their, "very stringent" copy protection won't
recognize the disc.
Note: Other DVD-video discs like workout lessons work fine in the Philips.
Hollywood Video has been quite nice in making exchanges and refunding money.
HP laptop is new and has 'automatic regionalization' Did I just screw
up the laptop by playing a bogus DVD??
Any clues??
