Helping a Japanese friend trying to play a DVD her brother in Japan made.
It plays in someone else’s all region DVD player   We bought her one too
and today we tried it with no success.  I brought the DVD home with me
thinking I might be able to learn something with my Kinux machine.  When I
put it in I got this:



and dmesg shows

Does anyone know if that DF PROTO means region 2 which includes Japan?  Any
other ideas I might try to learn what is going on?
