DVD REGIONAL CODE
Region Playback Control Management
All DVD Video Playback systems have “Region Playback Control” (RPC)
which is required by Hollywood movie industry and defined by DVD Forum.
You can only play DVD-Video discs with the same regional 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 do not play a
part in controlling the playback region. It solely depends on the decoder.
RPC Phase 2
(as
RPC2
): RPC2 drives maintain the regional code change
count information in hardware, and in general, the regional code of such
drives can be changed up to 5 times by end users under some software
decoder. (e.g. PowerDVD)
