Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can it be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

Why is there a limit on the number of times a "DVD player region" can be changed, and can this numbert be adjusted for more region changes, or an indefinite number of region changes?

Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.

Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • Why is there a limit to the number of cards allowed in Apple Pay?

    I began adding my credit cards into Passbook and getting them all verified through the issuer for Apple Pay, but it won't let me enter any more than 8 cards total. I have my debit card and seven credit cards entered. When I tried to add a ninth card, the "Add Another Card" is greyed out.
    If your response is going to be along the lines of "Why do you need so many credit cards?" or "Get rid of some cards" or something other than an answer to my question, please feel free NOT to reply.
    Thank you,
    Jeff

    The limit is most likely security purposes, which I also don't understand being that you would need your fingerprint. It could also be insurance liabilities, and apple doesn't want to be responsible for more than a set number of cards per person in the case of an insurance breach. But I am sure that many improvements will be made to apple pay, it is still new and most things change overtime after they are used by people like us.

  • Why is there a limit on the number of times you can attempt to join Family Share?

    I attempted to join Family Share yesterday but it did not seem to work on either my phone or iPad, which I updated to iOS8.  I tried to do it twice, both times unsuccessfully, when I attempted to do it a third time I was locked out of joining Family Share using my Apple ID for a year!  Why is there a restriction?

  • HT1689 Why is there a limit on the size of apps I can download in the App Store using 3G/4G?

    I understand that this is helpful for those that have limited data each month, but for me, and I'm sure everyone else who has unlimited data, this is just a nuisance and rather frustrating. I'm in the Air Force and where I am right now I have zero access to personal wifi. I am unable to update or download many apps. The download limit should at least be optional. Android has that figured out, why can't Apple? I love my iPhone, but I am extremely annoyed with this.

    The limit is there because Apple and the carriers have decided it should be. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

  • Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos??

    Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos?

    This is book # 13 and I've not encountered this problem before. I am dragging photos into the sourse pane but they are not imported. I have other books w/ over 700  pics (not all used) but this has only 300+ so far. I've copied the book to a pdf and it looks as if I'll have to redo it unless there's another solution.

  • HT204053 Is there a limit to the number of devices I can have on one account.  I have all two of my kids ipods, plus, mine, an ipad, and my iphone, and need to add one more.  I do this so that I have control over and can see what they are downloading.

    Is there a limit to the number of devices I can have on one account.  I have been putting my kids' ipods on my account so that I can manage their downloads, and control it.  Then I just create playlists for them specifically.  Now, adding another one for my youngest, but have no idea if there are limits. 

    Well the part about putting songs in the "iTUnes Music" folder I only brought up because it seemed you liked things very organized. You could use iTunes to so all the organizeing. Plus once you add something to the iTUnes library, if you change ANYTHING about it in windows explorer, like its name, change the name of the folder its in or move it to another folder, iTUnes "Looses Track" of it. Its not like other programs that "Watch" files and folders for changes outside its "iTUnes Music" folder
    But to have iTUnes auto search, you have to delete a hidden pref file. After doing this, when you open iTUnes again it will throw up a setup wizard, just like its the first time ever installing it. Its in this wizard where you get your ONLY chance to have iTUnes auto search and add files from the system. Just goto the link below and follow Scott P's steps

  • Is there a limit to the number of images in a slide show?

    I am making a slide show for an event and would like to use lots of pictures, is there a limit in the number of images in a folder? the number of images in a slide show?

    is there a limit in the number of images in a folder? the number of images in a slide show?
    None that I know off. But why are you asking? Did you notice any performance problems or problems to render the slideshow? Then it would help to know more about your hardware RAM, disk, CPU ..
    If you already encountered problems, you may wish to have a look at this thread - although it relates to Aperture 3, not 2:
    Is there a limit on the number of photos you can use in an Aperture slideshow?
    And as I said in that thread:
    I'd expect the limiting factor to the length of a slide show to be the patience and "Good Will" of your intended audience

  • Is there a limit to the number of email addresses in one message?

    Hello
    Is there a limit to the number of email addresses in one message with Mac Mail?
    I am trying to send out to c900 email addys and am being told my server does not recognise the email addresses. I will check with the folks hosting the email also.
    Many thanks
    Matthew Causon

    Ooh, yes, 900 emails at once will absolutely not work (unless you get very very lucky).
    If this is just a one-off, you should group the addresses into, at the very most, 50 addresses, and send batches. If you're doing this a lot, I would recommend using something like DirectMail.

  • Is there a limit to the number of addresses can I put into a group of multiple users in my address book?

    I have just started using Thunderbird and want to set up a number of list groups in my Address Book so that I can simply click on the list name and the email goes to multiple people.
    Is there a limit to the number of addresses that I can put into each group? Or, can I put as many addresses into each group as I want to? Thanks for your answer.

    Thunderbird has no limit.

  • In my Mail program (4.6), OS10.6.8, can I send bulk email bcc? If so is there a limit to the number of names/addresses that I can send?

    In my Mail program (4.6), OS10.6.8, can I send bulk email bcc? If so is there a limit to the number of names/addresses that I can send?

    To add the BCC field to the message window, create a new message, click the 'three lines' button near the to and from fields & select the 'BCC Address field' or choose the 'customise' option. This button may be a 'gear' on the older OS (I don't recall for 10.6.8 Mail).
    The BCC field is more likely to be limited by the email server than Mail app. If you add hundreds of addresses (or use large groups with many addresses) the email server may assume you are sending spam. Sometimes it causes the server to drop the message or bounce them, different providers also have different rules, so you need to use bcc & ccc with care.
    If you plan on doing mass mailing you would be better with a service that handles it correctly for you (i.e. sends multiple messages without using ccc or bcc).

  • Is there a limit to the number of Apple TV's attached to an iTunes Library

    I recently replaced 7 (seven) Version 1 Apple TV's with Version 3 Apple TV's and noticed that I now receive an error, "Cannot connect to the iTunes Library, ensure that you are on the same network, etc." on two of the Apple TV's. Shutting down iTunes and relaunching results in two others not being able to connect, but two of the previous non-connects now do. I've tried this several times and each time it appears as if only 5 of the ATV's can connect at once. Is this a limit imposed upon by Apple? Is there any workaround besides having two of the "non-connects" access the iTunes store for purchased content? The library is extensive and contains a lot of purchased content, but also contains legacy content from old CD's, DVD's and the like. I'd like to be able to access all of it if possible.
    Note that the way this used to work with the older ATV's was that 2 would directly sync and 5 would stream. But with each new iteration of iTunes these ATV's seemed to get flakier and flakier hence the replacement. The new ATV's are all connected via Home Sharing.
    I'm running iTunes 11.0.2 on a Mac Mini OS X Server (10.6.8). Would it help to upgrade to the latest OS?  I can understand bandwidth issues, but we're running a Gigabit ethernet (wired) network to these ATV's and the old ones worked fine previously. Why impose this limit? Come on Apple. Give us a little love for those of us that push your tech to the limit.

    Perhaps you would post the exact message (because that is not what is states)?

I never have a problem connecting a new Apple product (AirBook, iPad) and even a basic laptop. Thanks for your help.

    The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) can support up to ten (10) simultaneously connected Wi-Fi clients.
