The region code is usually specified on the back of the individual DVD packages, either with a Regional Coding logo of a globe with the region number superimposed over it, or specifically spelled out. For example, while currently-released New Line and Warner DVD titles use the globe logo & number scheme, MGM/UA titles state: "This disc has been encoded for Region 1: The United States, U.S. Territories and Canada.

Every DVD movie is released with a region code which prevents a DVD player with a different region code from playing that DVD. A general rule of thumb is: if you can play the DVD, you can copy it. So if you want to copy a DVD, you'll have to make sure you can play it first. If you find yourself in a situation where you can't play the DVD because your DVD reader is set to a different region, you can purchase products on the internet that will remove region code protection from your DVD device.

The region code protection in DVD-ROM hardware may be classed into 2 types: A. Phase I (with no region code protection): The hardware itself will not protect the region and the region code is protected by the software. B. Phase II (with region code protection): Use the set region code protect on the hardware as the one for watching movies. As this is the protection by the hardware itself, you should consult DVD-RMO manufacturer for detail information.

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.

A 'Region Code' is a way of ensuring that material intended for 1 region of the globe cannot be viewed on a player from a non-compatible region.

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.

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 players sold in PAL countries play both NTSC and PAL discs. These multi-standard players convert NTSC to PAL.

In many ways, the process is similar, but there are some big differences. The DVD disc is made of two layers, each half the thickness of a CD. So when they're bonded together they are as thick as a CD (1.2 mm). The pits of a DVD disc are half as big, and much more closely spaced, than those of a CD. That means the laser that "reads" the disc must be smaller and more sharply focused.

Part II is replication. Authoring involves all the decisions and processes needed to prepare your title for replication. Working with our DVD production team, we can help you decide which features to include, such as: Menu design choices, including motion animation and audio?
