I don't think so, he just hasn't set the Region Code yet. Region Code 0 is the factory default. There is a region code setting program for "Operating System: All POSIX (Linux/BSD/UNIX-like OSes)" at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=31346&release_id=168415 But as I use mplayer and mencoder I have never tested it.
