[TriLUG] Family home video dvd Question

[James Jones]

Jarod,

I use primarily +R's for this project. Two different brands of players
will not play them. JVC's model hr-xvc25u and Samsung model V4600c.

I read somewhere that some players key on region and will not play
certain regions dvd's. I examine the Video_ts.ifo file for something
indicating region but was not successful at determine if region
information was added to the file.
