How do I get my computer DVD burner to read Bali DVD`s?

Hi all,

I recently went to Bali and bought some DVDs over there.
We were able to play them on the DVD player at the hotel but when i brought them back here, i couldnt play them on the DVD burner stated below.
I tried dling the trial version of a DVD region free software program but to no avail.
Is there anything else that i can try because i know the DVDs can play but i dont know how to hack into them with the burner ive got.

thanks

I know the lite-on has trouble reading certain media, i had the same trouble myself , just get the latest firmware update .liteonit.com then click the ODD heading then select firmware download , then model etc, i didnt worry about the language install box that keeps flashing up , just click cancel

Thanks for the help. It got me a little closer to fixing the problem... hopefully!
I went to the web page you mentioned however the site is not letting me download ANY of the firmware file at all. Are any of you having the same problem or is it a setting on my computer that is restricting it? The page just reloads when clicking on the link to download the zip file. I`m not impressed by liteons website.
Thanks again

Get AnyDVD software.. Simple little programme fools the DVD drive into thinking it is zone free.. http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html
