Playback Prohibited by Area Limitations

I know there is a discussion on this subject and the discussion centered around the DVD player.  Mne seems to be different.

I just started using MEP Pro 2015, and I am getting the "Prohibited" error message when played on my DVD player.  I burn the same project on MEP Pro 2104 and it works OK.  I compared settings on 2015 and 2014, as far as I can understand, they seem to be the same.   And on both I have "NTSC (USA, Japan)" selected.  Is this a coding or setting problem?  Can't figure it out.

Hi

What region is your DVD burner set to?

To find this right click Computer and select Manage, Device Manager, DVD/CD rom drives.

Right click the DVD drive entry and select Properties, Region tab on the dialog that opens.

The region setting should match that for the zone your PC thinks it is in.

Eg for UK / Europe it should be set to Region 2.

Heed the warning in the dialog if you change it.

HTH

It is set to Region 1, which is the correct region for my area.
