Question


Is this an obvious question?
I am selling some dvds online,someone has asked what region are they, please tell me what he means??


Answer


Each DVDVideo disc contains one or more region codes, denoting the areas of the world in which distribution and playback are intended. The commercial DVD player specification dictates that a player must only play discs that contain its region code. In theory, this allows the motion picture studios to control the various aspects of a release including content, date and price regionbyregion. In practice, many DVD players allow playback of any disc, or can be modified to do so. Entirely independent of encryption, region coding pertains to regional lockout, which originated in the video game industry.
