Xbox and dvd movies

hello,
I have an un mod-chipped X-box with no mods yet, I have the dvd playback kit and it plays most dvds fine but some do not play as they are unrecognised, I am planning to get a mod-chip but not for a while, These discs are brand new with no scratches. Why dont they play???

what region are the dvds?

i know when you insert the dvd dongle key whatever region that is set to your x box will perminatley only play dvds from that region

they are all region 4 which is what my xbox is supposed to play

well if it is his region
then he should just tyr it on a
dvd player that was made where he is...
or another one from the one he used

and use it from there
