Tags: DVD, regions, countries, world, international, number
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 |
