messed the DVD drive
when i insert a DVD into my DVD drive (15 inch powerbook 1.67 Ghz RW super drive Matsushita R-UJ-845E Revision DMP2) it gives the error message that the inserted disk cant be read.
i believe this is a region problem.
i can read movie DVDs fine with VLC, but not using apple's DVD player.
i think the drive set to a different region.
how do i reset or flash the drive to get it back to its original, which was region 2.
again: the drive is totally usable since i can play DVDs using VLC (which i will use regularly from now on...) and i can even burn DVDs as well.
I only cant read movie DVDs using DVD player.
thanks

I think you can use a program called regionX to check your DVD status but do not change ANYTHING in the window that appears! Doing so will change the region and ONLY if you have a hacked region free drive can you reset it.
i appreciate the answer.
however, i do have DVDs from regions 1 and 2, as well as Region Free disks.
no disk can play in the drive. same error message for all disks, no matter what the region is.
any other thoughts?

regarding Region X. I have it installed and was going to use it, but the first screen says dont go further if you dont have a hacked drive.
it says that info without indicating what the drive is currently set as.
do you mean there is a screen past that screen that i can safely go to and still not activate the Region X app?
thnks
Have repaired disk permissions.
Have deleted DVD cache.
Have deleted DVD player pref file.
Still ALL DVDS inserted into drive fail and report can not be read.
However, as mentioned, drive is physically fine and can be written to as well as play DVDs using VLC.
Anybody else with any thoughts?
