Why regions on dvds

By some estimates, nearly 70 percent of Blu-ray discs carry no code at all. Then why bother? As downloads replace discs, a consortium of studios, manufacturers, and retailers is backing UltraViolet, a digital-rights system that would let people play a purchased file on up to 12 devices. Region codes may be dying, but they won't vanish completely until there's something to take their place.

There is no further region code restriction on home-recorded DVDs. Be aware your DVD commercially-bought collection might not play if you move to another country in a DVD player also from that country. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.

Measure content performance. Movie production companies and movie studios as well as the general box office utilize region coding in an attempt to prevent losses that could be incurred if certain areas of the world had premature access to unreleased films. For example, when a film has been in North American theaters for quite some time and is ready to be released to Blu-ray or DVD, it may have not yet even had its official UK theater release.

Region coding helps deter this practice, thereby allowing vested parties to reap maximum profits. This also applies to differences in currency value, preventing people from paying much less for movies by ordering them from a country where the monetary exchange rate is very high. Aside from profitability, there are other reasons for the use of region codes. Governments and Religious Groups in other regions of the world often have strict authority over what type of content is acceptable for viewing.

In these areas, region coding is effectively leveraged to censor content that is considered to be unethical, improper, or undesirable. This is explained below to provide you with an accurate understanding. I would recommend World-Import to anyone in the future.

It works perfectly! I must confess I was skeptical but it works great! Wonderful picture! Thank you very much! I received the DVC converter last week Monday. Excellent service and I am very happy with the machine. I am also grateful for the low price for customs.
