Answer #4

The reason the DVD’s don’t play on one laptop - or dvd player - is usually the regional encoding that’s built into the DVD player itself (or computer). There are I think 5 regions…DVD’s from the region that your dvd player is from (eg, the USA) will play fine. But, if you buy a real, non pirated DVD from a store in say, Tokyo, it may not play, as it’ll be a different region that the DVD player you’re trying to play it on.

Some computers allow you to change the region it’s set to…however you can only do that a few times, as they’re trying to combat piracy, which is why you can’t switch it anytime you like. Sorry it took a while for you to get a thorough explanation of the problem.
