I bought a stack of DVD's for 9d but whilst in a charity shop I saw a notice saying that some of them were for Region 1 which would only be suitable for the USA. A lot of them areTerminator - type carp films. I've looked all over the front and back of the box on a DVD which I watched on my DVD player, and I cannot for the life of me see anything saying anything about Region 1 or Region 2.

How do I check?

Thanks a million. So easy when you know what you're looking for! As you say, they're not all the same. A few write the word Region while others show a symbol of the world with the number 2 on it. I thing I was worrying unduly. I think the charity shop just had the notice up to clear itself. Almost any DVD you pick up from a charity shop is Region 2 compatable.

I have just looked at one of my DVDs.

Not all will be the same, but on the back of the box at the bottom there is a bar code on the right with the PG sign beside it.

On the left there is a box with several items, (Picture, Sound, Subtitles, Duration, Region)

It is quite small and not easy to read without good light and good eyesight.
