@ Urdypooh,
Perchance did you review the referenced Forum posting in my #3 posting and note the comments from SlySoft Technical Staff concerning Matshita Drives and Region Coding problems?
If you set your Matshita Drive to Region 1 and your European 7 Zwerge DVD is Region 2 the
AnyDVD software program will not function on a Matshita Drive to allow playback viewing. In the referenced Forum posting the SlySoft Technical Staff member explains in detail why the AnyDVD region coding software program (or any other software program) fails to work with Matshita Drives.
Regards,
