Region One DVDs are made for United States and Canada markets. Other countries belong to different regions -–European countries use Region Two, for instance, and Southeast Asia makes up Region Three. Your DVD-ROM drive’s region determines the region that Windows Media Player uses and prevents you from playing disks priced for a different part of the world. You can change your drive’s region to play Region One DVDs, but you should only do this if you plan to only play Region One discs in the future. Warnings Writer Bio
