(Get the code!)
this should not happen automatically as most dvd drives have a very limited number of changes. also it is not necessarily that you can guess based on the location information from the user (user might live in one country but have a collection of foreign disks, or may have 2 dvd drives and want them set to different regions).
that means you need to ask the user if they want to set the region.
more questions in the installer is generally a bad thing, especially as some users never will watch DVD films.
so, surely this is a job for the media players to do rather than the installer.
