+<p>I think I might be the last one to this party, but here goes. I installed Linux on my new laptop before it ever booted Windows. Since then, I haven’t been able to play movies on the internal DVD drive. I’ve been getting by with the external drive, expecting someone to fix the hardware support at some point. Turns out, the laptop shipped without the region set on the drive. There’s a <a href="http://linvdr.org/projects/regionset/">handy utility</a> for doing this in Linux:</p>

+<pre><code>cerberus% sudo regionset /dev/cdrom
+regionset version 0.1 — reads/sets region code on DVD drives
+Current Region Code settings:
+RPC Phase: II
+type: NONE
+vendor resets available: 4
+user controlled changes resets available: 5
+drive plays discs from region(s):, mask=0xFF
+
+Would you like to change the region setting of your drive? [y/n]:y
+Enter the new region number for your drive [1..8]:1
+New mask: 0xFFFFFFFE, correct? [y/n]:y
+Region code set successfully!
