There is a little symbol, usually on the back or side of the dvd player, which looks like a Globe with a number in it.
"1" is USA. "2" is Japan, I think.
Some DVD players are now Multi-Region or ALL region, those won't have the symbol on them at all.
Also, some "region" Discs are authored in the video format native to that region - the USA & Japan uses "NTSC" and Europe and other places use "PAL". So a Region 2 Disc will be NTSC but your region 1 DVD player won't play that disc anyway.
Some dvd players will convert the NTSC disc to a PAL disc or vice versa.

If you buy the right DVD player it will play all regions. It's the Yanks and there protectionism that is the problem. It's easier to buy a gun in the States than a TV, DVD player or VCR that is multi-system
When I asked in one big store for a mutl-system TV I thought they were going to call the FBI.
They would have sold me some Crack though! You need it to watch american television.

Ask from where you bought it or check the DVD box, or you can also search your DVD name on google and check. Your PC can definitely do the job, but you will need to download a videoplayer that reads all regions (VLC Media player)... Your DVD player on your PC (by its own) can read only one region, however, you can change that region to whatever you want, but that will only work once. The best options would be to buy a region free DVD or to download VLC Media player.

Jenn is absolutely right. There are hidden menus in the vast majority of DVD players, and generally there is the option to change the region, or set the machine to region-free. Try the sites that she gave, also try:
