DVD region codes
Region codes help protect the contents of a DVD from unauthorized
duplication. The world is divided into six regions, and the MPEG-2 decoding
software contains a region-code setting that corresponds to the region in which
the drive will be used. Typically,each DVD is manufactured with a
region-code setting so that it can be viewed only on a DVD drive that has that
same region-code setting. The region-code setting of the DVD is indicated by a
region-code symbol on the back of the packaging. The following table lists the
six region codes and their corresponding region-code symbol.
Region code Region
1 U.S., Canada
2 Europe, Middle East, South Africa, Japan
3 Southeast Asia, Taiwan,Korea
4 Latin America, Australia, New Zealand
5 Former Soviet Union, the rest of Africa, India
6 People’s Republic of China
You will be prompted for the initial regionselection. If you insert a DVD with
a different region code than the initial region-code, WinDVDwill ask if you
want to change the region code setting. Youcan change the region code from
your initial setting up to four times after setting the initial region code. After
