You may have to choose a region.
Look at this site
www.videohelp.com on the left nav there are links to
discussions about dvd drives and ways to restore all your region settings so
that none of your user or vendor sets will be gone.

Subject: DVD Problem?
I have just installed Fedora 4 on an IBM Thinkpad T21, I had to
install from cd's as the DVD/CDRW drive would not read the DVD install
disc.
After installing and update Fedora I tried to watch a dvd movie, then
tried to mount the install dvd and the drive will not recognize either
of them.
I ran cdrecord -scanbus and this is the result:
'MATSHITA' 'DVD-ROM SR-8175 ' 'G228' Removable CD-ROM
I know that I have a DVD-ROM SR-8175 with firmware G228. I started
looking at possible region problems and ran a utility called
dvd_region and this was the output.
Drive region info:
Type: Drive region is set
4 vendor resets available
4 user controlled changes available
Region: 1 playable
RPC Scheme: The Logical Unit _shall_ adhere to the specification and
all requirements of the CSS license agreement concerning RPC
>From this output I came to the conclusion that the drive is RPC-1 or
region free, so why can I not mount a dvd-disc.
This is a snip from anaconda-syslog
hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33)
I have no idea how to resolve this.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
John
