DVD Region Question

MadGamer1988 · Jun 3, 2019

Ok,

So I have a DVD which is Australian (NTSC), If I play it on my xbox one which is region 2, will it then region lock? If so how would I go about resetting the drive back to region 2? Is there a reset file I can download to reset the region code?

:)

No, you can't.

A DVD disc has a set region, it can never be changed. Same as the drive.

DVD drives come pre region locked for their sale region regardless if it is xbox,pc,dvd player etc and is thus impossible to lock it as another region. Furthermore it is unlikely your xbox will play said DVD due to region diffrence, though I am not 100%
sure on that last bit.

The drive on your Xbox One is already region locked to region 2, it cannot be changed.

There are several questionable statements in the OP's posts, but the region-free bit of the XB1 only applies to games.

Each Xbox One console is manufactured for a specific Blu-ray and DVD region, following international standards. The Xbox One console can play Blu-ray discs and DVDs that are sold in the same region as the console. See the following tables for the countries
in each disc region.

Note Game discs for the Xbox One console are not coded to regions.

There's no way to change the DVD region code of the console. It's also possible that the console could be from a country with a different DVD region code.

Just out of interest, what region are the DVDs you're trying to play? This info can be found on the back of the DVD case.
