Some DVDs are meant to be used in certain regions only. To watch them you need to have a player matching the code of that region. You can change it in Drive settings by right clicking it. But remember YOU CAN CHANGE IT FOR A LIMITED NUMBER OF TIMES(MOSTLY 5). Though you may get softwares which allow you to bypass that restriction

is there any way to change the region code of the dvd while making a copy of it.In that way i can watch the damn movie by matching the region code of my disc with the player

Rip it and then burn your DVD. Most rippers remove the region code to make it regionfree and also remove the Macrovision protection or whatever else:).
