Q:
Why there is region code protection?
A: The major movie
producers in the world have set the
standard to divide the world into 6
regions and require the DVD released
within in these 6 regions to be set
with region code to protect their
interest. Hence, theaters and families
in each region will not be able to
obtain cheaper discs from those
cheaper regions and has to purchase
from the normal channels so as to
safeguard their interest.SuperDVD
allows for the user to set a different
region code for 5 times. After setting
of 5 times, the player will only watch
the DVD set for the region or discs
locked for all regions.
Q:
How many types of region code
protection in DVD-ROM hardware itself?
A: The region code
protection in DVD-ROM hardware may be
classed into 2 types: A. Phase I (with
no region code protection): The
hardware itself will not protect the
region and the region code is
protected by the software. In the case
of SuperDVD, you may confirm if you
have change the region code for 5
times. If yes, SuperDVD will use the
last set region code as the final
setting and lock the region code.B.
Phase II (with region code
protection): Use the set region code
protect on the hardware as the one for
watching movies. As this is the
protection by the hardware itself, you
should consult DVD-RMO manufacturer
for detail information. SuperDVD will
base on the region code set in the DVD-ROM.
Q:
How many times is allowed for me to
change the region code after setup the
SuperDVD for the first time?
A: The region code
protection is to comply with the major
8 movie producers in the world. You
will have 5 opportunities to change
the region code (depend on the DVD
ROM) and the region code will be
locked after the 5th setting. From
then on, you could only play DVD
movies set for the region or locked
for all regions.
Q:
My computer has already MPEG1or MPEG2
hardware decoding and compression
card. Can I still use SuperDVD?
A: SuperDVD is a play
program for decoding MPEG1 and MPEG2
using pure software method. SuperDVD
may be compatible with hardware
compression card, but cannot be run
simultaneously with the hardware
compression card.This means that when
you are using SuperDVD, remember
don¡¯t to use hardware compression
card at the same time. Because if
hardware compression card and SuperDVD
are used simultaneously, it may cause
the playback to stop or even the
system will be suspended. If such
thing happen, it is suggested to
remove the hardware compression card
or close it.

Q:
I encounter a error "This DVD-Video
content is protected by Macrovision.
The system does not satisfy
Macrovision requirement.Can't continue
playing this disc", why ?
A: Macrovision errors
usually indicate a failure to
authenticate the Macrovision-protected
video content on a DVD disc.
Macrovision is the analog copy
protection applied to most DVD's, in
order to prevent them from being
copied to video tape. Your system,
particularly your video card and
drivers, must be configured properly
or Macrovision errors can result.
There can be several possible causes
of this problem:
Improperly Configured Video Drivers:
Make sure you install video drivers
according to the manufacturer
specifications. Detailed instructions
for properly installing or upgrading
video drivers are usually included in
a readme file that accompanies the
driver files.
Incompatible Software or Drivers:
Please make sure that your DVD decoder
is fully compatible with your current
system configuration. This includes
video card, version of Windows,
version of DirectX, etc. Be sure to
visit the decoder's website for
information about system requirements
if you are not completely sure of
compatibility. If your decoder is not
fully compatible, then an upgrade for
it may be available that will make it
compatible.
TV Out Feature May Be Activated: On
most notebook PC's, as well as some
desktop computers, the display adapter
has a TV Out feature. If you are
viewing DVD video on a computer, you
should make sure that only the display
that is currently in use is active.
For instance, if you have a laptop and
you do not have an external monitor or
TV connected to it, make absolutely
sure that this feature is not
currently activated. If it is, then
the video hardware will be trying to
send a signal to both places, and an
error is likely to occur.
No Support For Macrovision In Video
Drivers: This is becoming a rare
issue, but it can still happen. Older
video cards (mainly, models released
before 1997) probably will not support
Macrovision. In addition, some video
card makers can sometimes release
driver updates even for current models
that are incorrectly configured for
Macrovision support. In these cases,
the solution would be to either
replace the video card with a newer
model, or install a set of drivers
that include Macrovision support in
them; depending on what the situation
may be.
Insufficient Video Resources:
Sometimes a lack of hardware resources
can trigger a Macrovision error. You
may want to change your display to
800x600 pixels and High Color
(16-Bit), and see if this makes any
difference. Also, if you have recently
replaced your monitor or have your
system connected to a different
monitor than it usually uses, make
sure that Windows is not still
configured to use the previous monitor
model. This too can trigger a
Macrovision error.
