• DVDs and DVD drives contain regional codes that help
control DVD title exports and help reduce illegal disc
distribution. To be able to play a DVD, the disc’s regional
code and your DVD drive’s regional code must match.
The regional code on your DVD drive is determined by
your computer’s delivery address. The regional code for
the United States and Canada is 1. The regional code for
Mexico is 4. Your DVD drive’s regional code must match
the regional code for the disc. The regional code for the
disc is on the disc, disc documentation, or disc
packaging.
If the DVD movie does not play, the disc’s regional code
and your DVD drive’s regional code may not match.
