I haven't set regions on both of the DVD drives i've had and they read any DVD's fine.

Sounds like the problem I had with my CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive (which I am waiting for the RMA Materials). Anyway, did it EVER read DVDs fine? If it did, then I suggest you contact the manufactuerer for RMA because it is more than likely slowly dying. Mine stopped reading DVDs, then stopped writing CDs and then died all together (Windows didnt even recognize it).
This happend to me too why can't DVD drive's last. The company's probably makes them like this too buy more
