Just encountered this probleme on 12.04 with a clean DVD drive ( direct from the factory ) that has never been region-set.

Since this regionthing is directly linked to commercial crippled DVDs and drives region cannot be set more than 5 times. I guess this should be handled by the DVD player software only when the CSS key cracking fails.
So as already said, this should be handled by the DVD player with a nice GUI where the user can select the zone after have understood that this could be done only X times

I'm then adding Totem as a project affectd by this bug
