Customizing WinDVD
Setting general properties
You use the General tab to select the region code, the drive letter
assigned to the DVD-ROM drive, the autoplay default option, and
which WinDVD toolbars are displayed by default.
Region coding is part of the protection system for DVD content. It
divides the world into six regions. The intent is to enable specific
content to be viewed in a specific region. The current region code
of the WinDVD player installed in your computer is Region 1,
comprising the United States and Canada.
NOTE: Most DVD-ROM drives let you change the region
code, usually between one and five times. Once a drive has
reached the limit, the region code cannot be changed again.
Pay careful attention to the Remaining times until
permanent box on the General properties tab.
1 To change the region code, select the desired option in the
Current regions list.
The Remaining times until permanent box displays the
remaining number of times you can change the current region
before the setting becomes permanent.

DVD-ROM drive letter.
