Tony, it looks as if my settings are set at 1 - United States as the DVD I was given is that of Brendan O'Carroll's and I don't think he is anything other than European! I managed to change the default in Real Player to 2 but still cannot play the DVD. I cannot find where to change the setting in Windows media. All help welcome as I hate technology to best me.
