DVD Movie Playback

Note: This issue will be resolved in Commodore OS Update 1.
The way DVD codecs are handled is rather painful unfortunately.
Cut/Paste the following command in the CLI.
There will be a window prompt of some sort to download and compile the code, so just click next.
Then you need to have a DVD inserted before you enter the following.
It's so stupid it doesn't even present you with a list of the codes. It just asks for a number, so use the one for your DVD's region below.
There are eight region codes possible, currently six are used:
1 – North America (USA and Canada)
2 – Europe, Middle East, South Africa and Japan
3 – Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Korea
4 – Latin America, Australia, New Zealand
5 – Former Soviet Union (Russia, Ukraine, etc.), rest of Africa, India
6 – China
Presumably, it remembers the region and you aren't required to enter this every time.
I think I will make this an option under Commodore OS --> Additional Features in the next update.
I've just tested this and am confident that it will work.
My apologies for the inconvenience.
