DVD Regions

[bodhi]

Hey,

I bought a DVD in NZ just before i came back, didnt even think about regions etc, but it wont play in my xbox, bose system or dvd writer thing. Anyone know of any way to make it play?

I dont know much about DVD's etc but i seem to remember when they first came out there were two regions, but you could get region free too????

Thanks.

There are in fact 8 regions altogether:

1. USA, Canada
2. Western Europe, Japan, South Africa
3. South & East Asia
4. Australia, Central&South America
5. Russia, Eastern Europe, Africa
6. China
7. Reserved
8. International venues (Ships/aircraft etc)

I use a program called DVD Region+CSS Free on my PC - works like a dream

You forgot Region 0

Which is anywhere and everywhere. Just wonder though if it had RCE protection aswell. That can cause problems in certain players.
