regionset: Linux Set / Change DVD Region Code

by

regionset is a tool used to set the DVD region code on Linux systems. It allows you to change the region code of your DVD drive, which is necessary for playback of region-locked DVDs.

Here’s how to use regionset to change the DVD region code on your Linux system:

  1. Install regionset: You can install regionset on most Linux distributions using the package manager. For example, on Debian-based systems, you can use the following command to install regionset:
sudo apt-get install regionset
  1. Determine your DVD drive: Run the following command to determine the device name of your DVD drive:
dmesg | grep CDROM

The output should show the device name of your DVD drive, which is typically /dev/sr0.

  1. Change the region code: Run the following command to change the region code of your DVD drive:
sudo regionset /dev/sr0

This will open the regionset interface, where you can select the region code you want to set for your DVD drive.

Note: The number of times you can change the region code is limited by the DVD drive’s firmware, and after a certain number of changes, the drive will become permanently locked to the current region. Also, be aware that changing the region code of your DVD drive may void the warranty.
