What does “REGION FREE DVD PLAYER” mean?
WHAT ARE DVD PLAYERS VIDEO RESOLUTION? DVDs store 500 lines of resolution, which is about two times better than a VHS tape. But unlike a tape or laser disk, the video is compressed using the MPEG encoding. How do DVDs differ from VHS? DVDs are better than VHS because the picture is twice as sharp and clear. There is great Audio, like Dolby Digital and DTS. DVD sound is better than the sound on Music CD’s. How do you tell what region code a DVD disc is? The Region Code is usually specified on the of the individual DVD packages, either with a Regional Coding logo of a globe with the region number superimposed over it, or specifically spelled out. For example, while currently-released New Line and Warner DVD titles use the globe logo & number scheme, MGM/UA titles state: “This disc has been encoded for Region 1: The United States, U.S. Territories and Canada.” In the cast of Lumivision’s discs, they are labelled “Available worldwide,” which means that the discs contain no regional coding
