ya...certains dvds only pplay in teh region they were bought. there are 5 different regions.

region free means it can play any region's dvds.

You can use dvddecrypter to remove Region Coding from the dvd. (you will have to save (make a dvd image) on your computer)

or you can try anydvd to remove Region Coding on the fly. It will be like your dvd drive is set for all Regions.

it&#39;s to prevent people in the uk and other places from buying movies in teh us and taking them over, cause most are released in the us first...they want controlled coverage.
