Well, the new machine seems to be largely running with minimal issues.
What did you get?
I have several DVDs that are region 1, and they work fine. However, I also have some that are region 2, and those don't want to play.
When I got my HP (Canadian model, so I suppose the drive is set to region 1 by default), I had the same problem. My (one) Region 1 DVD played fine, but my other DVDs (all Region 2) wouldn't. I had to boot into Windows, pop in a Region 2 disc, let WinDVD set the region to 2, and after that everything worked OK.
This shouldn't be necessary with libdvdcss. If standard authorization
doesn't work, it does a brute-force attack on the keys.
Does the disk play in a stand-alone player?
