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.
