Region Coding is a system enforced by the MPAA (Motion Pictures Association of America) that controls the distribution of DVDs in world markets based on feature film release dates and other factors. The world is divided into many DVD regions. DVDs and DVD players are labeled for operation within a specific geographical region in the world. For example, all DVD players sold in the US are made to Region 1 specifications. Region 1 DVD players can only play region 1 DVDs.
Some DVD players do not have a region code and can be used to play DVDs of all region codes. Known as Code free or Region Free DVD players, these players can bypass the Region Code system and are capable of playing both NTSC and PAL formats.
