The globe is divided into six regions.  The USA region code is 1.  Australia for example is  region 4.  DVD players are typically wired to play in only 1 or 2 of the regions.  This   maximizes the ability of the movie studio to sell more videos.

RPC-2 confines how numerous you are allowed to vary the region that is playable on a      DVD player. It normally limits it to no more than five changes, then “blocks” any        additional attempts.
