DVD regions

lisajane · 2009-12-27 19:39:55

Can a dvd region 1 (US) be played on a computer? Or are computers much the same as dvd players? There's a movie i like but can't get it anywhere here. Only from the USA but im not sure if i can play it on the dvd player. So just wondering, can computers play them?

They are region coded but You can use a player called VLC to bypass it

Anydvd and dvd43 will also do it. Dvd43 is freeware but I haven't used it for a while.
