Sorry for posting this here but I have had it on the hardware fourm and have had no reply.
Ok I just got lord of the rings 2 towers extended version yesterday the proper one, its not backed up. I have a lg 4710/4210 dvd player(region 2). So ok I but the disk in my dvd player I notices the screen was in black and white for the first time i though it was strange then i got "check disk" on the screen. Can anyone help.
P.s
About 18 months ago I put the multiregion hack on it, it worked fine but now it still plays region 1 but not region 2? I've tried other region 2 dvd's not it so it not the lord of the rings disk.

Have you looked at Setup in your player to dtermine if it is set to the right Region? I hacked my GE but still have to change Regions from Region Free to Region 2 for 3 DVDs I have.

Try using AnyDVD cmckenna, which will make your Drive region free thus playing all region encoded DVDs.

Try it on someone else's player. That'll tell you if it's your player.

Yet again either of DVD-R)RW) & DVD+R(RW) are nothing to do with region.
I have a Sony R2 (Region 2) DVD Player but it plays all formats , the formats being DVD-R(RW),DVD+R(RW),VCD,mp3 etc
I have roughly about 200 DVD-R's (cos I use Pioneer 104 DVD-RW to burn) and they are all no region discs , ie; they have no region & not only that no macrovision or any other encryption.
These are done in the authoring process
ASDA do the Pacific 1002 DVD Player for £42:50 and I know its a fairly decent player cos a few mates of mine have one but you can check here for quick check/guide of what features it has - IT IS multi-region I believe !: )

DVD player these days are so cheap and versatile that they will play anything.
Go get yourself a cheap lite-on player which plays all DVD formats and even DivX!
This carn't be bad for little under $100 (£67)!
