The DVD region code identifies a DVD's compatibility with the players typically sold in a particular region of the world. If you bought your DVD in the UK it is probably a 'region 2' DVD. You can check this by looking at case of your DVD (there will be a number inside a small picture of the world). Here is a general guide to the regions: There could be one of two reasons for this.

If you are shown a screen stating that there has been a Region Error when you try to load your DVD disc, this means that the disc you are attempting to play contains a Region Code which is different to that of your DVD player (also meaning that your DVD player is not Multi-Region compatible) and so the disc will not run on this machine. You should never see this error when playing Region 0 discs. See similar questions...

DVDs are encoded with a region code that denotes the area(s) of the world where distribution and playback were intended. Most DVD players are formatted to play only DVDs with the region code matching the area the player is sold. Some DVDs are coded 'Region 0' which means they will play in any DVD player.

All DVD's can be 'coded' into geographical regions - of which there are 8. This can result in DVD's for region 1 (i.e. the USA) not playing in UK players and DVD's for region 2 (i.e. the UK) not playing in USA players. This can be very frustrating. To avoid this Music on Earth make only 'region free' (or Region '0') encoded DVD's which we hope will be enjoyed world-wide. See similar questions...

When a DVD player is manufactured for a particular country or geographical region it is assigned a region code. This means that the player will only allow playback of DVD discs that are released by the distribution companies in that region. For example, a disc purchased in America will not play on a machine purchased in Europe. Certain manufacturers have put backdoor routes into their players to allow the region locking to be defeated.

When a Widescreen movie is transferred to home video, the black bars at the top and bottom of the picture are usually encoded along with the movie. But when a film is anamorphically transferred, the picture is squeezed to fit into a 4:3 frame, and then unsqueezed by your DVD player. This way, instead of lines of resolution being used on the letterbox area during the encoding process, the unsqueezed picture uses the full resolution of the entire screen because the player generates the black bars.

The DVD 'world' is broken up into regions (see the map below). Most DVDs are hard coded with the region they are manufactured in (Ex: USA is region code 1). This coding can stop a disc from one area of the world from playing in a DVD player in another part of the world. Region coding is not mandatory or written law - media companies have adopted region codes as a way to market their releases in idividual territories and control where their DVDs are distributed to.
