What Billy said. VLC seems to default to region B if you don’t set it to something else.

So yeah I missed this somehow and boom. Fixed. But why did it change in the first place. I was in the middle of ripping a series and got to disc three and that is when I started having problems disc 1-2 were fine then at 3 all messed up.

Maybe VLC updated and reset some settings? Or maybe, for some reason, the first few discs weren’t region locked?
