I don't think that's the problem.  I looked in DVD help and it said if
you put a disk in from a region other than that of your drive, a dialog
comess up asking if you want to change the region, but you can only
change it 3 or 4 times.  this dialog isn't even coming up.  they just
mount and then the error, plus it happens with CD's too.
