Each DVD-Video disc contains one or more region codes, denoting the area* of the world in which distribution and playback are intended. The commercial DVD player specification dictates that a player must only play discs that contain its region code. In theory, this allows the motion picture studios to control the various aspects of a release (including content, date and price) on a region-by-region basis. In practice, many DVD players allow playback of any disc, or can be modified to do so. Entirely independent of encryption, region coding pertains to regional lockout, which originated in the video game industry.
Region codes and countries
| Region code | Area |
|---|---|
| 0 | Informal term meaning "playable in all regions" |
| 1 | Bermuda, Canada, United States and U.S. territories |
| 2 | The Middle East, Western Europe, Central Europe, Egypt, French overseas territories, Greenland, Japan, Lesotho, South Africa and Swaziland |
| 3 | Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea and Taiwan |
| 4 | Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico, Oceania, South America |
| 5 | The rest of Africa, Former Soviet Union, the Indian subcontinent, Mongolia, North Korea |
| 6 | Mainland China |
| 7 | Reserved for future use |
| 8 | International venues such as aircraft, cruise ships, etc. |
European Region 2 DVDs may be sub-coded "D1" through "D4." "D1" identifies a UK-only release. "D2" and "D3" identify European DVDs that are not sold in the UK and the Republic of Ireland. "D4" identifies DVDs that are distributed throughout Europe.
