<P> Other software, known as DVD region killers, transparently remove (or hide) the DVD region code from the software player . Some can also work around locked RPC - 2 firmware . </P> <P> The region coding of a DVD can be circumvented by making a copy that adds flags for all region codes, creating an all - region DVD . DVD backup software can do this, and some can also remove Macrovision, CSS, and disabled user operations (UOps). </P> <P> In common region - locked DVDs (but not in RCE - DVDs), the region code is stored in the file "VIDEO_TS. IFO" (table "VMGM_MAT"), byte offsets 34 and 35 . The eight regions each correspond to a value which is a power of 2: Region 1 corresponds to 1 (2), Region 2 to 2 (2), Region 3 to 4 (2), and so on through Region 8, which corresponds to 128 (2). The values of each region that the disc is not encoded for are added together to give the value in the file . For example, a disc that is encoded for Region 1 but not Regions 2--8 will have the value 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128 = 254 . A disc encoded for Regions 1, 2 and 4 will have the value 4 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128 = 244 . A region - free or RCE - protected DVD will carry the value zero, since no regions are excluded . </P> <P> The Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 consoles are all region - locked for DVD playback . The PlayStation 2 can be modified to have its regional - locking disabled through the use of modchips . Although region locked on film DVDs and film Blu - ray Discs, the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are region free for video games, though Add - on content on the online store is region locked and must match the region of the disc . </P>
