Hi there, I cannot play a dvd region 1 dvd called the skull, on my region 2 dvd player, model Bush pdvd-312, i just wondered if you know a hack code to make the player region free?

Theoretically, movies are released on DVD at different times around the world, typically America and Canada first, Australia and Japan 6 months later, and Europe 12 months after US release. In some instances, DVD movies are available for purchase in America and Canada before they are released in European cinemas. Due to the high quality of DVD and the movie release system used by Hollywood, 5 regions were established to prevent people from watching Region 1 movies before they were released on Regions 2-6. DVD region code is used to protect copyright and film distribution rights, so as to ensure movie studio profits. DVD Censorship between countries also plays a part, another reason for DVD region coding.
