--- What's new in v1.72: * Tested to be working with the ATI DVD Player v3.1. * Support for the new iDCT mode in the CineMaster panel (only for ATI Rage 128 cards). --- What's new in v1.71: * Support for PowerDVD v1.50. * Possible fix for PowerDVD v1.30 not being detected on some machines. * Updated readme.txt file with correct links, doh. --- What's new in v1.70: * Support for WinDVD v1.00, change the region as many times as you'd like. * Small cosmetic changes made. --- What's new in v1.62: * The ATI DVD Player v3.00 is supported by DVD Region Selector, make sure to read the player notes area for more information. * The CineMaster Sound Mode selection didn't have a default setting. * Clicking on the title (highlighted player name) will give a list of supported versions. * Few small glitches fixed. --- What's new in v1.61: * On popular request, i included the undocumented CineMaster Sound Mode setting. Play around with it, see if it improves your sound quality. --- What's new in v1.60: * Support for PowerDVD v1.30. This is a bit tricky, and you may want to read the PowerDVD information on the player notes area. * A new "V"ersion button has been included on the CineMaster page. This will extract the version numbers from the CineMaster decoding engine and from the CineMaster control panel. * A note in the information tab about how to get DVD Express to work multi-region in combination with the Xing DVD Player. * Small fixes. --- What's new in v1.53: * DVD Region Selector now automatically remembers the last tab you were last on. * Several of the DVD Players will automatically overwrite the Win98 "Auto-run on DVD Title insert" setting without even prompting you. In order to combat this foul behavior, i have included two new buttons on the Win98 tab. The "Store" button, and the "Restore" button. What they do is remember the current Win98 auto-run setting and when needed they can restore to your "stored" setting. * Another small button included on the Win98 page is the Clear Auto-run button. This will clear the auto-run setting in case you don't want a DVD Player to automatically run when you insert a DVD Title. * Some explanations on the information page (information tab) why various software-only DVD players are not supported by DVD Region Selector. --- What's new in v1.52: * Small fixes. * New information section that contains information on how to set the Xing and the Windows 98 DVD players under Windows 98. Make sure you read it carefully. * All the information area is now available as external files as well. --- What's new in v1.51: * Bug fix in Windows 98 code, should hopefully load without errors now on all machines. --- What's new in v1.50: * Windows 98 DVD Region support. This is quite complex and was created for the advanced user. Region Selector will TRY to find the correct Windows 98 region registry entry. You will then be able to change it by clicking on the boxes and pressing [Enter] after altering their values (Pressing [Esc] will cancel). You can also Import, Export and Erase these registry entries (export will export the key into a standard Windows 98 registry file). In theory, erasing the registry key will reset the Windows 98 region change counter. This wasn't tested extensively, and it is HIGHLY advisable to export the key before making any changes (for backup purposes). Once again, USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. * Another nice Windows 98 feature introduced in this version is support for the Windows 98 DVD Auto-Insert notification. With this option you can select which DVD player will be automatically loaded when a DVD Title is inserted into the drive. Some DVD players will override this feature when installed (Xing for example), but you can easily reset it using this program. One thing to note is, that you must have Auto-Insert notification enabled for your DVD drive. You can verify this by: 1. Right-clicking "My Computer". 2. Selecting "Properties". 3. Clicking the "Device Manager" tab. 4. Opening the CD-ROM area. 5. Double-Clicking on your DVD Drive. 6. Clicking the "Settings" tab. 7. Making sure "Auto-Insert" is checked. --- What's new in v1.41: * Small bug fixes and new link to message board. --- What's new in v1.40: * Included support for the Xing DVD Player v2.01beta. This works exactly the same as the CineMaster region change scheme. Change the region as many times as needed. For some reason Xing stated that under Windows 98 the region code is extracted automatically from the operating system and then can't be changed. I found this to be false, at least with this beta version. I had absolutely no problem changing the region code under Windows 98. * Included a bit small header that gives a bit more details of which program version is supported (appears above the region selection interface). --- What's new in v1.30: * Integrated some of the CineMaster control panel directly into the program. I only integrated what i thought was important. This should allow for easy and quick changing of CineMaster properties without ever having to enter the CineMaster control panel. This may also help people that for some reason the control panel never showed up. --- What's new in v1.21: * A more orderly information page. * I figured out the CineMaster algorithm used in generating the Region code. So, you now have an option to "reset" the counter when you "apply" the new region. If you do not select the "reset" option. The region will change to the new setting, but the change counter will remain at it's present value. * Forgot to mention this in v1.20, check out the new DVD discussion board forum. You can find the link above. --- What's new in v1.20: * There might be some problems with my web page. My host is upgrading some hardware and the page may be unavailable for a while. * As you can see, the user interface is much simpler now. * I have unified the CineMaster and ATI Player region setting into one setting. * Since you can change the regions directly from this program, there is no need to have a reset button. However, setting the region to region 1 does exactly that (resets the counter and sets it to region 1). All other regions will reset the region counter to 1 instead of 0 (which doesn't really matter since we simply ignore the counter now that we can change the regions as many times as we like). * PowerDVD support is still primitive as i have not yet received my DVD Rom drive. Hopefully a direct support for region selection under PowerDVD will be included in a future version. --- What's new in v1.10: * Implemented support for resetting the PowerDVD v1.22 zone counter. * Resetting the CineMaster 0.9 decoding engine should now work! (hopefully). * Changing the settings of programs you do not have installed should not be possible now. --- End.
