RCE for DVD-ROM?

[arikevin]

Does RCE (Region Code Enhancement)apply for DVD-ROM without Region Code? I had just update the my DVD-ROM's firmware. Please reply me as I want to buy The Patriot. Thanks

Not really sure but it's quite likely. You might also want to post this in the "International Forum" where might be more likely to get an answer. http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/smile.gif

The answer to your question will depend on which hardware or software DVD-Decoder your system has, and how you change the DVD-ROM drives region code setting.

If you are using a software program to reconfigure the region code on your DVD-ROM drive each time you want to switch regions, then I think RCE wont bother you since the DVD-ROM will simply tell the decoder that it is set for a specific region (whatever you set it to) when it is queried by the title.

If you have used a software program to make your DVD-ROM drive "region free" then you may have problems with RCE since it is designed to allow the title to detect when a player (or PC decoder) is set to more than one region, and will prevent playback in that case.

I have heard that RCE discs such as The Patriot play fine in a drive that have been flashed regionless. Hope so, I just did it to my Pioneer an hour ago.

The region would be provided by your player or DVD Genie as rlabarge said.
