About DVD and Blu-ray Disc
Region 0

DVD    BD
 
Nearly all DVD and Blu-ray Disc home video products are protected
against unauthorized distribution outside their licensed territories by what is
known as region encoding.

Region 0 (also known as Region-Free) DVDs and Blu-ray Discs are unrestricted
and unencrypted discs that are playable on DVD and/or Blu-ray Disc players
worldwide, provided that NTSC players are used to play NTSC discs and PAL
players are used to play PAL discs. Many PAL DVD players are enabled to also
play NTSC discs, check your manufacturer’s operation manual for confirmation.

Region 0 Blu-ray Discs are unencoded as opposed to Regions ABC discs that are
encoded but are open to all players, making both types of discs functionally alike.
Blu-ray Disc players worldwide will play the high-definition, widescreen AVC
encoding and specially-marked players will display from the AVC encoding
format, although region-encoded discs will not play on all BD players worldwide.
