Region 4 is Mexico, Central and South America. Those countries for the most part use NTSC. So the DVD is probably pure NTSC. However, many US DVD players will have difficulty playing the disc if it has the region 4 code on it. It should play in a computer.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
