    DVDs with region 0 (no region) will play on all DVD players around the world.

    However you may still have an issue with the video standard. US and Japan use NTSC whereas Europe, and South America use PAL.

    Multi-Region DVD players can be hacked, to play DVDs from any Region.

    Region-free DVD players can play DVDs from any Region, straight from the box.

    That's called a Multi-Region player.

    Some DVD players are specifically sold that way and many others (but not all) can be easily hacked with no special tools to become multi-region models.

    Just enter your DVD model number plus the words "region hack" into a search engine and you'll quickly discover whether yours can easily become a multi region model.

    Region-free or Region 0 (zero).
