If the days of XP were more blissful (like they were for me), why don't you stay with XP (like I have)? XP's the OS. No worries at least till 2014. The more people stay with XP, the more MS is likely to fix Windows 7 problems.

Windows 7 is rubbish. Stay on XP. Tests have shown that copy operations are so slow in 7 and Vista. A this is just one point out of many. Windows XP is the one and only OS.

You can set the region from (dvd) device properties, for example: http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/5113/64553737.png

By the way some years ago there was DVD Genie but I doubt if it can still work.
