I bought a dvd writer LG GSA-H44N recently.
The software provided in it includes PowerDVD.
Whenever I played a DVD using PowerDVD, it prompts me to upgrade to enjoy 5.1 Dolby Digital surround. I was wondering if I did not upgrade, that means I will not be given this 5.1 surround even the DVD supports it, am I right?
The software (PowerDVD) also has got an configuration option that can be switched to a 6 channel audio. I was confused by the upgrade and this configuration.
Can anyone enlighten me about this upgrade and the setting configuration? What other software can I make use of to enjoy 5.1 surround sound?
As sometimes I was prompted to change the DVD region setting, the number of changes allowed keep reducing. I am afraid that it will run out soon as it has got 3 left. Previously, a PCMecher told me to use a software (FreeDVD) to remove the region, make it region free. However, I am not able to use this software as it is "read-only" on the DVD.
*Sorry I think this should be in the Multimedia section?*
