Many movie lovers have come across a feature such as linking a DVD player to a specific zone. This is due to the struggle of film distributors with the so-called video pirates. The owners of multi-zone devices were in the most advantageous situation. But a regular DVD drive can also be made multizone.

Instructions
Step 1
Determine the zoning of the installed DVD drive. Right-click on the "My Computer" icon and select "Device Manager". In the window that opens, we find the installed DVD drive. It is usually referred to as "DVD and CD-ROM drives". Select the desired DVD drive from the list and right-click on the submenu. Then we select the "Properties" function. Several tabs will open in a new window, one of which is titled "DVD Region". The region number is indicated in it, and there is also the possibility of hardware change of the value.
Step 2
Select the required region for the DVD drive and press the OK button.
Step 3
We launch the program to change the region code. It will automatically detect where the distribution is installed and make appropriate changes to the hardware. This operation is similar to tweaker programs that customize Windows for user requests. You just need to specify which zone to link the DVD drive to and that's it. The program will automatically make the required settings.
Step 4
If you cannot change the zone for the DVD region of your existing DVD drive, you should install a virtual DVD-ROM. The most famous of them were originally made multi-zone, therefore, when playing video files, they will automatically adjust to these requirements.
