DVD region codes
Regional coding is part of the scheme for protecting the contents of a
DVD. The world is divided into six regions so that specific content can
be viewed only in the region where it is appropriate. For example,
content for Region 1 (U.S. and Canada) can be viewed only in Region 1.
WinDVD is also region-specific.
You can verify the region code of the content by looking at the region
code symbol on the back of the content packaging.
Region code Region
1 U.S. and Canada
2 Europe, Middle East, South Africa, and Japan
3 Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and Korea
4 Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand
5 Former Soviet Union, the rest of Africa, and India
6 People’s Republic of China
Start WinDVD by inserting the DVD into the DVD drive. The region code is
automatically set and you can see the movie. This is the initial setting.
After the region code has been set, if you insert a DVD whose region code is
different, you are prompted if you want to change the region code. You can
change the region code from your initial setting up to four times.
After the region code has been changed from its initial setting four times, it is
fixed and can no longer be changed. Thereafter, you can play DVD content
only from that region.
To display the region code status, do the following:
1. In the WinDVD window, click on the WinDVD Properties button.
2. Click the General tab.
