If you still can't fine useful information,
write back with the make and model numbers of your DVD player(s),

Also try to play the DVD with a computer.
Almost all of our DVDs/VCDs are region-all
NTSC and can be played on any US DVD player, and many regions
around the world.
If you are in Europe you should have an
all-region DVD player and should be able to play DVDs from
all over the world.
If the DVD region-code is not for your region,
you might need an all-region DVD player to play import DVDs.
