Great--got your attention
Ok I bought the Paul Van Dyk Global dvd a few months ago but unfortunately without realising I bought the US version and not the European..Yes I can watch it on my laptop but not on my dvd player which is hooked up to my nice widescreen tv..
From my understanding..Dvds are divided into regions yes..
USA= Region 1
EUROPE= Region 2

Does this mean that I cannot watch this dvd on my dvd player at all,Is there no ways around it? Can anybody help? Is there a code or method of gettin my dvd player to read it???
Any help appreciated..
Thanks

go to google.com type the name of your dvd player and the words "codefree" or something like that. every dvd player can be changed to codefree - it is mostly very easy

yes, that is correct there are 3 regions. Pioneer & Sony have both issued their own "global" code for DVD's. However they do not think uniformality will be determined until 2006. Both companies have a lot to gain or lose in this situation.

There are, in fact, 6 major regions and 2 special ones.

Region 1 - U.S., Canada, U.S. Territories
Region 2 - Japan, Europe, South Africa, and Middle East (including Egypt)
Region 3 - Southeast Asia and East Asia (including Hong Kong)
Region 4 - Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Central America, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean
Region 5 - Eastern Europe (Former Soviet Union), Indian subcontinent, Africa, North Korea, and Mongolia
Region 6 - Peoples Republic of China
Region 7 - Reserved
Region 8 - Special international venues (airplanes, cruise ships, etc.)
