Go edit the thread title, people are willing to pour out more.

Well, the thread title is now fit to the topic (forget about the original now). Have you seen any SECAM system DVD on the market? Even the french has to follow the rule. People living in Europe use PAL and their DVD Player can also read NTSC DVDs. On the contrary, the american DVD players have little luck to read the PAL DVD. Since 1 year ago, there are more and more DVD players output from mainland China and Taiwan that do the PAL/NTSC interconversion. In case of world-wide distribution. You need to make both the PAL and NTSC versions with region 0. The region code is purely added for Hollywood production regional distribution, it is a business matter to restrict distribution by certain company at certain region.

YOU'VE GOT VERY INFORMATION HERE 

I agree, stay away from region coding, it was incorporated into DVDs at the request of the MPAA, and is for marketing purposes. You can also get stung if you don't pay attention to worldwide standards and regions. An example, making PAL the only standard available in region 2 - that would exclude Japan. And while we're at it, stay away from ineffective copy protection, like CSS and Macrovision - not worth the licensing fee.
