The region code is probably already set, but players can ignore it unless the author signed a CSS license agreement. Free software authors rarely do that, but some players respect the region code anyway. If you use mplayer you can ignore the region code settings of your drive. It will play discs from all around the world. Fabian -- http://www.fabiankeil.de/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

add DVD Burner and file system setup?
I just added a DVD burner to my system and am trying to figure out how to setup the fstab. The device is showing up on acd1 but what file system type should be specified?
