DVD
Region
Codes
The
DVD
world
is
divided
into
six
major
geographical
regions,
with
two
additional
regions
reserved
for
specialized
use.
To
keep
it
simple,
this
means
that
DVD
players
and
DVDs
are
labeled
for
operation
on
within
a
specific
geographical
region
in
the
world.
For
example,
the
U.S.
is
in
region
1.
This
means
that
all
DVD
players
sold
in
the
U.S.
are
made
to
region
1
specifications.
As
a
result,
region
1
players
can
only
play
region
1
discs.
That's
right,
the
DVDs
themselves
are
encoded
for
a
specific
region.
On
the
back
of
each
DVD
package,
you
will
a
find
a
region
number
(1
thru
6).
The
geographical
regions
are
as
follows:
REGION
1
--
USA,
Canada
REGION
2
--
Japan,
Europe,
South
Africa,
Middle
East,
Greenland
REGION
3
--
S.Korea,
Taiwan,
Hong
Kong,
Parts
of
South
East
Asia
REGION
4
--
Australia,
New
Zealand,
Latin
America
(including
Mexico)
REGION
5
--
Eastern
Europe,
Russia,
India,
Africa
REGION
6
--
China
REGION
7
--
Reserved
for
Unspecified
Special
Use
REGION
8
--
Reserved
for
Cruise
Ships,
Airlines,
etc...
REGION
0
or
REGION
ALL
--
Discs
are
uncoded
and
can
be
played
Worldwide,
however,
PAL
discs
must
be
played
in
a
PAL-compatible
unit
and
NTSC
discs
must
be
played
in
an
NTSC-compatible
unit.
The
end
result
is
that
DVDs
encoded
for
regions
other
than
Region
1
cannot
be
played
on
a
region
1
DVD
player,
also,
players
marketed
for
other
regions
cannot
play
region
1-stamped
DVDs.
The
Reasons
For
DVD
Region
Coding
Why
does
DVD
region
coding
exist,
you
ask?
According
to
what
the
public
is
being
told,
such
coding
is
a
tool
to
protect
copyright
and
film
distribution
rights
(in
other
words,
movie
studio
profits).
Movies
are
released
in
theaters
in
different
parts
of
the
world
at
different
times
throughout
the
year.
That
Summer
blockbuster
in
the
U.S.
may
end
up
being
the
Christmas
blockbuster
overseas.
If
that
occurs,
the
DVD
version
of
the
movie
may
be
out
in
the
U.S.
while
it
is
still
showing
in
theaters
overseas.
In
order
to
preserve
the
financial
integrity
of
the
theatrical
distribution
of
a
particular
film,
it
is
not
possible
(under
normal
conditions)
to
have
a
friend
in
the
U.S.
send
a
DVD
copy
of
the
film
to
the
country
where
it
is
in
theatrical
release
and
be
able
to
play
the
DVD
on
a
player
there.
Region
Coding
-
The
Good
and
The
Bad
Depending
on
who
you
are,
region
coding
can
be
considered
a
blessing
or
a
curse.
If
you
are
movie
studio
executive,
this
is
great,
not
only
do
you
reap
maximum
profits
from
the
theatrical
releases,
but
also
from
the
DVD
releases
for
your
film.
However,
if
you
are
a
consumer
wanting
to
see
a
movie
that
is
available
on
DVD
in
your
relative's
or
friend's
country
but
not
in
yours,
you
may
have
to
wait
quite
a
while.
However,
another
suspected
rationale
for
region
coding
is
beginning
to
emerge,
possible
price-fixing
of
DVDs
depending
on
region.
Although
this
is
yet
to
be
legally
proven
in
court,
if
proven
to
be
true,
Australian
and
European
courts
may
just
put
the
heat
on
Hollywood
and
manufacturers
to
discontinue
region
coding
as
a
marketing
practice.
New
Zealand
has
been
trying
to
eliminate
DVD
region
code
restrictions
in
that
country.
In
addition,
for
those
consumers
that
live
in
Europe,
Australia,
and
Asia,
there
is
an
abundant
market
for
so-called
Code
Free
DVD
players,
which
are
essentially
modified
versions
of
stock
DVD
players
in
which
the
region
coding
function
has
been
disabled.
With
the
magic
of
mail-order
and
the
Internet,
these
players
are
widely
available,
even
if
not
totally
legal.
For
the
fortunate
owners
of
these
players,
DVDs
can
be
purchased
from
any
region.
However,
as
a
reaction
to
the
popularity
of
Code-Free
DVD
players,
"Hollywood"
has
instituted
another
layer
of
coding
on
region1
DVDs
called
RCE
(Regional
Coding
Enhancement)
which
prevents
selected
region1
DVDs
from
playing
even
on
Code-Free
DVD
players.
However,
RCE
is
only
implemented
on
some
Region
1
discs,
and
not
on
discs
from
other
regions.
