DVD region codes

DVD region codes help protect the contents of a DVD. The world is divided into six regions and specific content can be viewed only in the appropriate region. For example, content for Region 1 can be viewed only in the U.S. and Canada. WinDVD is also region–specific.

You can verify the region code of the content by looking at the region code symbol on the back of the content packaging.
