» How to Make Region-locked DVD Region free?Multimedia Hive

Most commercial DVDs use encryption that keeps them locked to one or more “region codes,” meaning the discs you pick up in other continents usually won’t play on an American DVD player. If you believe the movie studios, this encryption is a necessary tool in the ongoing war against piracy. But DVD Region Codes limit us the playback, which leads some discussion on the Internet about codes for “unlocking” DVD players so that they can play DVDs having other region codes freely》

**DVD Region Codes and Where They Are Used**
DVD Region Code	Geographic Region(s) Used
0	Region code “0” is an informal way of saying that all region codes are set, which is equivalent to the absence of a region code. There is not really a region code “0”.

2	Western Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and Japan
3	Southeast Asia
