I'm not sure where this thread should go, so please move it to the appropriate forum if needed. Sorry for the inconvience.

I'm trying to play this DVD9 that I just got from Asia (more specifically, Taiwan) on my regular DVD-ROM on my computer. Not only does it not play, it makes this sound as if the disk is spinning and it can't read anything. Are there programs out there that will read foreign DVD's?

Thanks,

there are a few. however most aren't legal.
what type of dvd-rom do you have? some will allow you to change the region setting in the properties, however they normally limit how often you can do that.

and it's not just that it's a "foreign" dvd, but rather that its region code isn't the same as yours.

This thread will halt as it stands.

I am not willing to open this site up to legal trouble.

No more guys. I am not about to condone any illegal activities. These locks are there for a reason.
