How to find out what region a movie disc is?

Asked by AshlynM (5721

I’m assuming all of the dvd’s I have are region 1 but how to find out for sure? Is there a program out there for free that will let me check this? I also noticed on most of my commercial dvd’s, they say region 1 or NTSC.
But some of them do not say anything regarding region, even on the dvd box. If I wanted to sell some of my dvds and needed the region info of the dvd to inform the buyer, where would I find this out?

The DVD player on my computer tells me when I’m out of region.
A DVD purchased from an American retailer will nearly always be Region 1.

This is interesting, I just bought a new laptop and when I tried to rip a dvd it told me I had to choose a region. Oddly enough though it would not allow me to choose Asia, it insisted I choose region 3 which on my map is South America. I swear my other laptop was set to Asia???

Anyhow what ^ said, your computer will tell you what region you should have selected.
