Using Regional Codes

DVDs sometimes come with regional codes imprinted as part of
the disc data. These codes prevent DVD movies from being played
in regions of the world that are different from where they are sold.
The region number is usually superimposed on a world globe icon
printed on the DVD packaging and disc.
For producers of DVDs, the inclusion of regional codes is optional.
DVDs without regional codes will play on any player or drive in any
country.
The six major DVD regions are:
Region 1: North America
Region 2: Japan, Europe, Middle East, South Africa
Region 3: Southeast Asia (including Hong Kong)
Region 4: Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Central and
South America
Region 5: Northwest Asia, North Africa
Region 6: China
WinDVD is not preset to a particular region - the regional code of
the first DVD movie you play determines your DVD region. For
example, if you play a DVD with a region 1 code, WinDVD sets the
current region of your DVD player to 1. If you later play a DVD
that is coded for a different region, WinDVD asks if you want to set
this as the current region.
Warning: You can change the region five times before the
change becomes permanent.
Viewing a DVD Movie on a
Television (Optional)
Note: Viewing the computer image on a television is an optional
feature not available on all models.
If the PC has TV Out capability and your TV has either an S-video
or a composite video connector, you can connect your PC to a
television so that you can view the computer image on a TV
(to watch DVD movies, play games, and so forth).
