Changing DVD Regions In Windows 98

The following is a way of changing DVD region in windows 98 and doing it as many times as you like.

This method requires editing the registry. It has to be done on each computer because the settings are unique to that computer.

Open regedit (type regedit in the run command)

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Gxxxxxxxx (there will be numbers instead of the x's. It is different for every computer)

First of all backup this registry key by exporting it to some filename for safety.

In the right pane there will be a value with four numbers eg. 20 23 41 5b They will be different on your computer but ill use these for examples. The way these work is as follows: The 1st value , 20, is the region value. The 2nd value , 23, is the region change counter value The other two are not relevent so leave them alone.

Now you can delete the Gxxxxxxx key. Exit regedit.

Put in, say a region 1 DVD disc, and start the windows 98 DVD player. A screen should appear asking you to match the player region with the DVD disc region. Do this and run the movie. Exit the DVD player and run regedit. The Gxxxxxxx key will have been recreated to the region 1 value and with the counter reset. eg. 23 26 41 5b 23 for region 1 and 26 for the region counter value.

This counter value is the initial counter value. If you try changing regions with the player this value will change, counting down the number of changes left each time eg. 26 = initial value 21 = 3 changes left 20 = 2 changes left 23 = 1 change left (they will all be different on your computer) Note the region value and the counter value. Export the Gxxxxxxxx key and call it region1.reg Exit regedit.

Now put in, say a region 2, DVD disc and as before play it with the win98 DVD player. The screen again will appear and match the regions as before. Close the DVD player and open regedit. Go to the Gxxxxxxxxx key. The region and the counter values will have changed. eg. 20 21 41 5b 20 for region 2 and 21 for 3 changes left. Note these values. Export the key and call it region2.reg Edit the region2.reg and change the 21 to 26 (or your equivalent values) to have the counter reset each time you change the region and save. All you will have to do now is double click on these files to change the regions and you can watch different DVD region films forever. For other regions just repeat the above.

XingDVD player uses the Windows 98 region for its player so therefore this is also a method of changing region for XingDVD.

Enjoy your different region DVD watching in win98!!!!!
