My laptop is currently set to region code 0. I tried to play a region code 1 dvd, but my laptop asks me if I want to change the region code. When I clicked no, the dvd ejected. Isn't region code 0 all regions, meaning that any dvd player should be played by my laptop?

The term "Region 0" also describes DVD players that were designed or modified to incorporate Regions 1–6 simultaneously, thereby providing compatibility with virtually any disc, irrespective of region[s]. This apparent solution was popular in the early days of the DVD format, but studios quickly responded by adjusting discs to refuse to play in such machines. This system is known as "Regional Coding Enhancement" or RCE.[1]
As of 2007 many[citation needed] "multi-region" DVD players defeat regional lockout and RCE by automatically identifying and matching a disc's region code and/or allowing the user to manually select a particular region. Others simply bypass the region code check entirely.[citation needed] Some manufacturers of DVD players now freely supply information on how to disable regional lockout, and on some recent models, it appears to be disabled by default.[citation needed]
note if u change the code, there are only so many times it will allow u to do that, then it locks in.
