Do DVDs from the UK work on DVD players in the US?

Can you play dvds bought in canada work on dvd players in the UK?

  • Answer:

    Dvd's bought in Canada or the States are a different region to UK. If your dvd player is set to play all regions then it is not a problem. If your dvd is only set to play the region for UK then you can sometimes get the code to unlock it, and then it will play dvd's from another region. :)

No. The discs from Canada are region 1. The region of your DVD player is region 2. The only way you will be able to play your discs is in a Region Free player or in a computer with a DVD rom drive in it.

Hi - I'm not answering your Q, I am asking a supplementary one - if I TRY to play my Canadian DVD on my UK DVD player will it just not work or will it damage the DVD and/or the DVD player. Why is life so complicated??

The power current is totally different in Canada than it is in the UK, and you need a special adapter/plug, for certain items. DVDs, electrical goods, videos, etc, won't work, and that's frustrating. My sister is Canadian, and often we would love to send her DVDs, electrical gifts etc of/from her family, but are unable to. Caramac x
