I bought a foreign movie on eBay several years ago, and it would not
play on my DVD player here... But oddly enough, it was just fine
playing on my laptop! So... if you have problems using the DVD player,
just pop it into your computer and see if it will work.

DVDs in the UK and Europe are region 2. USA is region 1. Some
specialised DVDs do not have a region code.
US DVDs can't be played on UK DVD players unless the DVD player is
multi region or if instructions are followed from a DVD region hack
web site to change the region of the DVD - haven't found a menu
function to do this on any of our 4 DVD players. This involved putting
in a code via the remote control. Don't know if US DVDs can be played
on a UK computer.
Lacemaking DVDs produced for the first time as DVDs by Hensel
Productions do not have a region code and should be able to be played
anywhere, but some equipment might not like them. I know a couple of
people have had problems playing the Hensel DVDs, eg the Chantilly
lace one by Lia Baumeister, on DVD players, but they have played fine
on a computer. Don't know whether the lace DVDs originally produced as
videos and then converted to DVDs have a region code. I think all of
the Springett videos were PAL for the UK and NTSC for the US. Later
video recorders could play NTSC videos.
I bought a couple of lace DVDs (Flanders and Chantilly) direct from
Hensel Productions and have had no problems with them.
