DVD Region Coding 

Region Playback Control Management 

All DVD Video Playback systems have “Region Playback Control” 
management (RPC) which is required by Hollywood movie industry and 
defined by DVD Forum. This includes DVD-Video players and PC 
systems with DVD-Video capability. You can only play DVD-Video 
discs with the same region code as your DVD-Video Playback system.   

As for DVD-ROM drives, one kind of the DVD-Video Playback system, 
there are 2 types: 

RPC Phase 1 (as RPC1)

: RPC1 drives do not have built-in hardware 

support for region management. DVD-ROM drives of this kind don’t 
play a part in controlling the playback region. It solely depends on the 
decoder. 

RPC Phase 2 (as RPC2)

: RPC2 drives maintain the region change 

count information in hardware, and in general, the region of such drives 
can be changed up to 5 times by the end users under some software 
decoder (e.g. PowerDVD).  

 

And referring to the region codes, there are 6 regions worldwide, and 
normally, there is a region code mark on the package of DVD titles. :  

Region  1: Canada, US  

Region 2: Japan, Europe, South Africa, and Middle East (including 

Egypt)  

Region  3: Southeast Asia and East Asia (including Hong Kong)
