What it does is the disc tries multiple regions and if they both succeed then the disc goes to a special failure screen. (The Spiderman disc does this as well.) I am not certain if there is a way to force a region code for a specific disc. I will test it on my fc3 system and see what happens. > libdvdnav: Using dvdnav version 1-rc6a from http://xine.sf.net > libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable. > libdvdnav: DVD Title: SCHOOL_OF_ROCK_16X9 > libdvdnav: DVD Serial Number: 30307D04 > libdvdnav: DVD Title (Alternative): SCHOOL_OF_ROCK_16X9 > libdvdnav: Unable to find map file > '/home/williams/.dvdnav/SCHOOL_OF_ROCK_16X9.map' > libdvdnav: DVD disk reports itself with Region mask 0x00fe0000.
