However, region enconding is ignored by linux players; the reason is that they have to break the encryption anyway using the "libdvdcss" library. Once broken, why should they care about one more impediment?
I assumed that Linux DVD players were still bound by the region encoding on the drive, but ICBW; I don't bother playing DVDs on my PC as I've got a "proper" DVD player downstairs. Of course, the next question for the OP is - Can you play PAL (region 2) DVDs on your PC?
