My DVD player is saying Playback prohibited by area limitations. What does that mean

Rip & Transcode it using an online free software. or buy suitable DVD player from Ebay for the region you're playing.

Most DVD players are region-locked, meaning they will only play disks encoded in the location they are from, or disks without region-specific encoding. For example, if I bought a DVD player in Europe and tried to play a disc from the United States, it would not play. Unfortunately, in order to get past the "area limitations" you will either have to buy a DVD encoded in the same format as your DVD player, or set the player to a different region code (which often will lock the player after a certain number of times).

you are trying to use a dvd from a different region then the player is set up for the player has to be unlocked to play multiple regional discs

gm wag po plzzzz baneed akin wala na po ako rakion

I don't know where you are, so I will have to speak generally. DVDs made for the USA market will not play in Europe, because they have different area codings. This is about copyright owners controlling copyright. Many DVD players in Europe are actually hacked to get around this.

It isn't just Europe and the USA either, there are several areas that cannot share DVDs across borders.

It would seem that you have got a camera that is set to a different area than your DVD player. That is what is causing this error message. Sometimes you can change one or the other from a menu (you can do this a limited number of times with a DVD disk drive installed in a computer). If it is a stand alone DVD player, I would try to get it hacked to be "region free". Sometimes you can find information about this by searching the web. I can't advise further because you have not given make and model of either your camera or your DVD player, or your location, or where you bought the equipment.

Sounds like it's the wrong region disc. Try a disc that worked before and if it does than there is nothing wrong with your dvd player it is the disc you are trying to play that has the issue.

The region code of your stand alone player is different from the region code on the disk. To resolve this Pinnacle should have an info tool that will allow you to check the region code. If not Nero has this tool available with thier software. You should be able to download it @www.download.com. Also most newer DVD players only read specific data types. For instance, you cant use DVD-RW in a player that only reads DVD-R. So make sure you are using disks that are compatible with your DVD player.

Check area code at your unit and usualy its printed at back side. If your unit belongs to code 1, it will play only region code 1 dvds and so on other codes.
