I apologize if this topic has been covered. I tried to search.

Any way, here is my problem. I built a new desktop computer, intel i7 cpu, and ATI HD 4850 video card. I took an old Benq 1620 DVD writer from my old xp machine and installed it on this windows 7 machine. This BQ 1620 has B7W9rpc1 on it, i.e., all regions.
The video card is connected to a 1080p tv vis HDMI. When I play a legit region 1 DVD on this new windows 7 machine, it says something to the effect of wrong region. But I can play previous backed up dvd's. Only the originals cannot play.
Infotool says it has B7W9 firmware , Region control is rpc1 and region is all.

Is HDMI bad news here?

Please help. TIA.

Thanks for the link. It confirms my suspicion that there is no codex in Windows 7 RC, yet. I did try to load some, but did not work. Anyway I tried VLC, as suggested and it works. I think I'll give up Windows 7 RC soon, since my wireless adaptor card does not work either.
