Anyone know what it is?
About a month ago I took a brief holiday and, like I usually do, took my PowerBook and a pile of DVDs so I'd have something to watch in the evening (I'm not gonna pay for a hotel room, then pay again for a movie!).
Anyway, shortly before I left I purchased a bunch of John Wayne movies on DVD, three movies on each for ten pounds - pretty good deal!
While I was perusing the box art, I noticed it clearly says 'REGION: 0'.
Is this some kind of universal DVD, playable in any region? Or does the 'REGION' text not refer to the DVD Region code (which, AFAIK, is mapped as 1-US, 2-UK, etc up to six).
Just curious - they played fine!
Take care

yeah, region 0 means it has no region coding. you can play region 0 discs anywhere.
just looking up some info on DVD regions, did you know there are 8 regions, not 6? one site i saw said region 7 is unused, while region 8 is for airlines and cruise ships...that's news to me!
