DVD region codes
Region codes help protect the contents of a DVD from unauthorized
duplication. The world is divided into six regions, and the MPEG-2 decoding
software contains a region-code setting that corresponds to the region in which

region-code setting so that it can be viewed only on a DVD drive that has that

region-code symbol on the back of the packaging. The following table lists the
