Hi everyone,

I have a lot of DVDs and was wondering if they would work in a Korean DVD player. I don't want to waste space/baggage weight bringing some of them with me if they won't work.
Thanks to anyone who can help me!

In theory, DVDs in the States are locked in Region Code 1, the ones in S. Korea Code 3, and they are NOT interchangeable. IF your DVD has Code 0 instead of 1, then it is not locked and thus playable with Korean DVD player.

But, this actually depends on which kind of player you'll be using - some, but not all, machines are internally 'tweaked' to play any regional code.

Worst case scenario, you'll need to play the DVDs with your laptop, and perhaps hook it up with your TV, projector, etc.

The only thing I'll add is that if your DVDs are burned, they will be region free and will play on any player.

Thought I read somewhere that Blue ray DVD's might put Korea and America on the same regions.

I recently had this same question. I was looking for a new DVD player because my old one was going downhill fast. Here are two sites where you can find unlocking codes:

While I was researching this, I decided to see if I could hack my old DVD player and was able to do so pretty easily.
