Each DVD-Video disc contains one or more region codes, denoting the areas of the world in which distribution and playback are intended. The commercial DVD player specification dictates that a player must only play discs that contain its region code.

In theory, this allows the motion picture studios to control the various aspects of a release (including content, date and price) on a region-by-region basis. In practice, many DVD players allow playback of any disc, or can be modified to do so.

The full list of codes is as follows

0 Informal term meaning "playable in all regions"

1 Bermuda, Canada, United States and U.S. territories

2 The Middle East, Western Europe, Central Europe, Egypt, French overseas territories, Greenland, Japan, Lesotho, South Africa and Swaziland

3 Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macau, South Korea and Taiwan

4 Central America, the Caribbean, Mexico, Oceania, South America

5 The rest of Africa, Former Soviet Union, the Indian subcontinent, Mongolia, North Korea
