[Dixielandjazz] DVD region code list

Wikipedia does have its moments!

No, UK and US do not use the same region encryption.  Someone mentioned copying a disc to your own format, won't work.  Most commercial DVDs are copy protected.  Even my PC will restrict the number of times I can play a disc from another region.  (usually 5, IIRC, I haven't tried lately)

The whole region thing was set up to circumvent piracy, international shipping of discs (even by legal means), and to prevent a disc from being sold in an area before it was scheduled by the distributor.
