On the properties tab for my DVD player I have the region set to 1.

The tab notes that "CAUTION You can change the region a limited number of
times. After Changes remaining reaches zero, you cannot change the region
even if you reinstall Windows or move your DVD to a difference computer."

I understand why this is so (marketing!), but how is implemented ... how is
the drive going to 'remember' if it is moved to a new system .... NVRAM?

Does this mean that Windows queries the drive for it's region each time the
system starts up, or, Windows tells the drive its region.

Cheers

Thanks for this.

This then begs the question, so how do the PC based region free utilities
work?
