We had that happen all the time not matter what DVD it was. So we sent it back and got a different kind.

I have not had the need to change regions, since it appears to be region-free...so I don't really know. The only time it won't work is if the disc requires specific region verification.

I have played a DVD from France and it worked. The same French video did not work in the other regular regional DVD player that we had.

JV - Thanks a lot! I could not figure out why my dvds wouldn't play on other dvd players. There is nothing to clue you in that you need to finalize them.

it depends on the OS (Operating System) you are using and the version of it, but a solid solution for any OS it's download and install VLC player, if this does not fix the problem, try the DVD+/-RW USB External Drive on another computer and see what happen.

Not sure to be honest. I have only played 1 US DVD (from library) but all our DVDs from the UK worked perfectly. Sorry I can't be more help. Might find out after renting more DVDs in the US.

I ran into this problem when I tried to copy over onto a dvd that had something already on it. When I went to a new dvd, all was well.

I have both region 1 and 2 dvd's and they play ok. Just make sure that when you receive the box there is a 'region free' sticker on the outside.

the dvd only read region #1 DVD discs (USA DVD), but dont worry, you just need to recode videos and movies into a flash device or HD. More here:

Hi, Because this is a disc drive, and not a standalone player, it all depends on your software, I believe. If you have the right software to play multi-region discs, you should be able to pop in your disc and the drive should be able to read it and play it on screen. And, of course, Amazon has a wonderful return policy so you're not left with something that doesn't work for you.

Probably not. This is a region 1 (North America) player. You can use a region-free player. Also, most computer DVD players are region-free, so you can try that.

It depends on what 's type of your video extention. Avi mkv. etc. Or somehow it's has been corrupt. Trying to deleted it and transfer it back. Good luck

Not without knowing more than just "I can't...convert my DVDs." People can't provide help when they don't even know what they're trying to help you with. Please be more specific in what step of the process you're having problems with and what you're trying and what's happening when you try it, as well as anything else that could be helpful information to anyone attempting to assist you.

I am not sure on the formats. It should say in the details section. It recognizes regular DVDs in the US but not sure of how global...

I just had a live chat with Panasonic and it is region encoded (the CSR said all their Blu-Ray players are region encoded) to region 1 for DVD and region A for Blu-Ray disks. HTH!
