Can't play some region A Blurays

Post by dhc710 » Wed Jun 17, 2020 2:11 pm

Hi guys,

Apologies if this is a common issue, I've never used this software before. I'm using Makemkv right now just to allow VLC to play Blurays. And its worked with most of the ones I've tried. But some of my Blurays just show an error in VLC that says something about a region mismatch and that they can only be played in region A players. Which is weird because I'm in the United States.
My drive is a Pioneer BDR-209DBK Bluray Burner. Could I be having this issue because my drive doesn't support Libredrive? I also don't know anything about Libredrive or what its used for.
Hope someone can help.

Probably means that VLC is set to region B or C. You can change the Blu-ray region in tools > preferences > input / codecs > access modules > Blu-ray.
