What are DVD Regions?
DVD Regions are restrictions encoded onto a DVD that determine where in the world it can be played. The United States, United States territories, and Canada belong to region code 1.
What is the purpose of DVD Regions?
The purpose of DVD Regions is to allow motion picture studios to control several aspects of their DVD movie releases, including content, release date, and price.
How does this affect me?
DVD players are formatted to only play DVDs with your region code. In other words, you will not be able to watch a DVD with a region code that is not your own, which in most cases is not a problem.
