The release group, CORRuPT, forgot to make this one region free, i.e. remove the region code restrictions in the DVD.

Many ppl will be able to play the DVD anyway, as their player is region free and doesn't care about region codes. For those of you who gets a region code error in your player, you can wait for a fix patch to be released or you can easily fix it yourself this way:

(no re-authoring required, as some ppl may think! The DVD region settings are stored in the .IFO files... )

1. Extract the .rar files as usual, to get the .iso image file
2. Extract the VIDEO_TS folder from the .iso image file using WinRar (latest version), IsoBuster or similar programs.
3. Open the DVD in PgcEdit (freeware) or similar DVD editing tools
4. In PgcEdit, choose Utilties -> Region Code and click Region Free. Click OK and save the disc.
5. Test in software player (Media Player Classic or similar players).
6. Burn VIDEO_TS folder using Nero or similar tools.

Good luck!

It does not play on my SONY standalone. It returns with a region code error. That's why I looked into the problem in the first place. Also, I've seen similar reports from other users elsewhere in other forums.

When I extract the image file and open it with a DVD editing program, it says that it's marked for region 1 only, not region 1-8 as you say. Could you please check again, and let me know which program you use for this?

Making it "region free" using the method I described with PgcEdit actually just enables it for all 8 regions, as it should've been by the release group. In fact, it's even a nuke reason according to the scene standards/release rules to release a DVDR without removing region coding, so clearly Corrupt forgot to do this...
