Region is most commonly a geographical term that is used in various ways among the different branches of geography. In general, a region may be seen as a collection of smaller units (as in "the New England states") or as one part of a larger whole (as in "the New England region of the United States"). Regions can be defined by physical characteristics, human characteristics, and functional characteristics. As a way of describing spatial areas, the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many branches of geography, each of which can describe areas in regional terms. For example, ecoregion is a term used in environmental geography, cultural region in cultural geography, bioregion in biogeography, and so on. The field of geography that studies regions themselves is called regional geography. In the fields of physical geography, ecology, biogeography, zoogeography, and environmental geography, regions tend to be based on natural features such as ecosystems or biotopes, biomes, drainage basins, mountain ranges, soil types.

If you are playing on a standalone DVD player then most of them have a 4 code hack that you input to remove the region encoding allowing you to play any DVD. If you are playing it via windows then use CSS Region Free Once installed you can copy or just watch normally. If you are using Mac OS X then it gets more complicated. You need to replace the drive with something like the Pioneer DVR-K05. You then need to flash the drive in a PC under Windows using something like Region X. After this you can put it back into your Mac but you then need to hack the Mack OS X. Go to www.rpc1.org for more information. Alternatively instead of using the inbuilt Mac DVD player download and install VLC media player.
