Playing DVD Movies in Windows Media Center

Using country/region codes

Most DVD discs have country/region codes embedded in the disc data that limit where the
DVD movie can be played.
The country/region number is usually placed over a world globe that is printed on the
DVD packaging and disc. DVDs without country/region codes play on any player or drive
in any country/region.
WARNING: You can change countries/regions only five times before the
country/region code locks and becomes permanent. Once the code locks, you
can play DVDs from that country/region only. If the country/region code locks
and you need help, contact Support.
