Most DVDs sold in Mexico and the rest of Latin America carry both region 1 and 4 codes. Overseas territories of the United Kingdom and France (both in region 2) often have other regions (4 or 5, depending on geographical situation) than their homelands. 'D1' are the UK only releases 'D2' and 'D3' are not sold in the UK and Ireland 'D4' are distributed throughout Europe. European region 2 DVDs may be sub-coded 'D1' to 'D4'. 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 by implementing a system known as 'Regional Coding Enhancement' (RCE).ĭVDs sold in the Baltic states use both region 2 and 5 codes, having previously been in region 5 (due to their history as part of the USSR) but EU single market law concerning the free movement of goods caused a switch to region 2. The term 'Region 0' also describes the DVD players designed or modified to incorporate Regions 1–8, thereby providing compatibility with most discs, regardless of region. So-called 'Region 0' and 'ALL' discs are meant to be playable worldwide. For example, a DVD designated Region 2/4 is suitable for playback in Europe, Latin America, Oceania, and any other Region 2 or Region 4 area.

These region discs have all 1 through 8 flags set, allowing the disc to be played in any location, on any playerĪny combination of regions can be applied to a single disc.
