Region coding is part of the protection system for DVD
content. It divides the world into six regions. The intent is to
enable specific content to be viewed in a specific region. The
current region code of the WinDVD player installed in your
computer is Region 1, comprising the United States and
Canada.
NOTE: Most DVD-ROM drives let you change the region code,
usually between one and five times. Once a drive has reached the
limit, the region code cannot be changed again. Pay careful
attention to the Remaining times until permanent box on the
General properties tab.
