There is also 'Region 0' which technically is not a 'Region'. This is used to designate that a DVD disc is not Region Locked at all. It is a common misconception that because a DVD disc is Region Free, it will play on any player . The actual video format of the disc also needs to be correct. In the USA is NTSC, and in Europe is PAL.
