You might think a DVD is just a DVD, and that it will play in any DVD player. Unfortunately, you're wrong. The film industry has segregated the world into seven "regions," and DVDs are generally encoded for playback in only one region.

	REGION 1 -- USA, Canada
	REGION 2 -- Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Greenland
	REGION 3 -- S.Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and parts of Southeast Asia
	REGION 4 -- Australia, New Zealand, Latin America
	REGION 5 -- Eastern Europe, Russia, India, Africa
	REGION 6 -- China
	REGION 7 -- Reserved for Unspecified Special Use
	REGION 8 -- Reserved for cruise ships, airplanes and the like
	REGION ALL -- Uncoded discs that will work anywhere
