Hi,

Garrett Wollman explained this quite nicely to me.
In the MMC-3 standard (SCSI) at T10.org, there is a
standard section on sense codes:
 
6F/04       R          MEDIA REGION CODE IS MISMATCHED TO LOGICAL UNIT REGION

When you get a new DVD player, the DVD-ROM will adopt the region
code of the first DVD that it plays.  If you want to change
the region code on your DVD drive, you typically need to download
proprietary utilities or firmware for your DVD drive.
Most DVD drives only allow you to change the region code 5 times.

I haven't figured out how to change the firmware on my LITE-ON
drive, because LITE-ON only supplies Windows utilities, and my
machine is FreeBSD only.
