This is one of the hallmarks of the DVD format. Different geographical regions have their own codes, and DVDs are generally coded for a particular region. For instance, the US is Region 1, and I believe the UK is Code 2. You also have to deal with the issue of PAL to NTSC conversion or vice versa. A universal player such as some of the Sampo and Apex models will play all the regions, and a player like my Sampo DVE-611 will also convert PAL to NTSC. An ordinary off the shelf brand name player will likely just play DVDs for the particular region it is sold in; although, some of these players can be hacked or modified to increase their versatility.Todd
