When a DVD says Region2:Europe, will it work in most us dvd players?
i wan to buy a dvd from ebay the region code is 2europe, I have no idea what that means!!!!
Answer:
DVD's and DVD players are coded by region. The players will only play DVD's from it's own region.
They code the DVD's to protect studio's profits. -They don't want someone to be able to buy a DVD where it costs less and resell it in another country, nor do they want someone to be able to send a DVD to a country where the movie hasn't been released yet.
REGION 1 - USA, Canada
REGION 2 - Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Greenland
REGION 3 - S.Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Parts of South East Asia
REGION 4 - Australia, New Zealand, Latin America (Mexico incl.)
REGION 5 - Eastern Europe, Russia, India, Africa
REGION 6 - China
REGION 7 - Reserved for Unspecified Special Use
REGION 8 - Reserved for Cruise Ships, Airlines, etc...
REGION 0 or REGION ALL - Uncoded, can be played Worldwide
Other coding:
PAL is the dominant format in the World for analog television broadcasting and video display. For your purpose it means almost all movies not recorded in (or for) the U.S. won't play on U.S. equipment (DVD, and VHS players, TV's)
PAL discs must be played in a PAL-compatible unit and NTSC discs must be played in an NTSC-compatible unit. it wont work on all but it is made for regional DVD players but if you have one then your good Region 2 means that for the most part, it will only play on a DVD Player from Europe.
