The solution is setting it to the right region, if you are using a RPC-2 DVD
drive (i think all latest drives are RPC-2)and you have already used it with
Windows it should be already set. If not use a program named 'regionset'
contained on 'dvd_disc_20000215_css' (i think it is in linuxtv.org, or it could
be found on freshmeat.net)

I think most RPC-2 drives limit region setting change by 5!

Another solution is patching your DVD Drive, check here:

(watch out not to blow up your DVD drive ;)

With my DVD drive (Asus E612 - 12x) all I had to do is remove a jumper (it was
written: "For testing purposes only") at the back of the drive to make it
RPC-1: all zones allowed! =)
