I know on a mac, you can only change your region 5 times. It's kinda unnecessary and ridiculous really...  |

Aren't EU and Japanese DVDs not compatible in the US? Usually not -- but easy to "hack" -- just use a PC DVD Player. Unless you have a multi-region DVD player, most North American DVD players can't play PAL discs. (The format used in Japan.) Basically if North Americans want to purchase DVDs from around the world then they must have a multi region DVD player and a PAL compatible TV system; or be willing to watch the movie using a pc/laptop's DVD ROM drive (pc's are not format dependent.Most DVD players and TVs sold in PAL countries can play both formats of discs, however, this does not mean they can play any DVD (because of region restrictions). For example, a basic European DVD player (PAL Region 2 only) will be able to play a Japanese disc (NTSC Region 2), but not a US (NTSC Region 1) disc. An American basic DVD player (NTSC Region 1) will not play any other Region's DVD irrespective of format. There are region codes that indicate where a DVD can be played (see below). This is done so that releases can be staggered. Plus Region 1 DVD are NTSC only. The main difference between North American systems (Region 1) and other countries is that other countries' TV systems can play either PAL or NTSC DVDs whereas many US and Canadian TVs are NTSC only. Most North American DVD players are NTSC Region 1 only players. Film on a DVD is stored in digital format, and is formatted for one of two TV standards (NTSC or PAL). So apart from the region code issue there is the problem of disc format (two different formats of DVD, NTSC or PAL). The UK, Europe, Australia, etc use the 625 line 50Hz PAL system. Japan, USA and Canada use the 525 line 60Hz NTSC system. If you can't play a PAL format DVD, although you have a multi-region DVD player, it's possible that your TV is the problem and not the DVD. Region 1 USA, Canada, US Territories (NTSC format only) Region 2 Japan, UK Europe, South Africa, Middle East Region 3 Southeast Asia and East Asia (including Hong Kong and Thailand) Region 4 Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, South America, Caribbean Region 5 Eastern Europe, Indian Subcontinent, Africa, Region 6 China Region 7 Reserved Region 8 Special International Venues (Planes, Ships etc) Region 0 Region Free DVD's |
