General Discussion - Removing DVD Region Protection ersxaer - Mon May 21, 2012 5:37 pm Post subject: Removing DVD Region Protection
We know DVD has 6 regions.1: North America; U.S. territories; Bermuda 2: Europe; Western Asia; Kingdom of the Netherlands etc. 3: East and Southeast Asia; 4: Oceania; Central and South America; Caribbean; Mexico; 5: Africa, Central and South Asia, Belarus, India, Mongolia, North Korea, Russia, Ukraine; 6: Mainland China.
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.
