Okay, can you please explain what "region 1", "region 2", and "region
free" mean?  I'm searching a bit on google, but so far haven't turned up
anything that really explains this term.  Those of us who have been put
off touching DVD due to the shortsighted encryption used (even peecee
games gave up the copy protection arms race, didn't they?) may not know
what the various terms are.  (All I know about DVD's is that they are like
CD's but hold about 10 to 20 times the capacity, really.)
