What Is DVD Region Code?

Commercial DVDs sold in a specific area are given a region code to lock discs from playback in other regions in order to control the release of DVDs all over the world. At present, there are 8 region codes in use. 1-6 are divided according to geographic regions while 7-8 are additional for special purposes. Almost all DVD movies use region 1-6 codes.

iCloud Drive empowers users to back up iPhone data and access the data via computer or other Apple devices with the same Apple ID. The following tutorial can lead you to back up WhatsApp videos to computer via iCloud Drive.

1. Open Settings on iPhone. Tap iCloud and turn on iCloud Drive. Turn on WhatsApp from the list with apps which are allowed to store documents and data in iCloud.

2. Open WhatsApp > Settings > Chats > Chat backup.

3. Tap Back Up Now and all chat data (WhatsApp videos included) will be uploaded to iCloud.

4. Tap Auto Backup and set backup frequency to let iCloud automatically save your WhatsApp data. Switch on Include Videos below Auto Backup option to back up WhatsApp videos.

5. After backing up, you can get WhatsApp videos and other data on computer by signing in your Apple ID with iCoud.

Notice: 1. It requires internet connection. 2. iCloud only offers 5GB of free storage. For more, you need to subscribe iCloud storage plan (starting at $0.99/month). 3. It doesn't only transfer WhatsApp videos to computer but all WhatsApp data. You are not allowed to select certain items for backup.

Bottom Line: All 3 ways are available to transfer WhatsApp videos from iPhone to computer. WinX MediaTrans boasts its flexibility and efficiency as well as completes transfer mission only with help of a USB cable. Both WhatsApp web and iCloud drive need network to download WhatsApp videos but they are seemingly more convenient without installing a program. Depend on your need and choose the most appropriate way.
