I don't believe it's a specific region, it's NTSC format though.

It’s good enough for the blind.

Thx for the quick answer,
Don't care about the format, hope that my DVD-Player, or at least the PC will manage :P

In theory the DVD player will manage…
With the computer, however, if you put in a disc which is region coded to America your computer can only play America purchased DVDs. If you wish to play something from say Asia you would have to change your regioning… you have 5 changes per drive…
Personally I recommend VLC… it doesn't check for regioning =)
99.99% certain it will work…
NTSC and PAL are simple formats supported by almost all DVD players save extremely early models which could only play one format… The formats are almost the same anyway.

Yeah, well,
the problem with the regionalcode is rather the TV/DVD-Player than the PC :P
But well, I'll just trust Codex :P and otherwise, TV-Out ! ;-)

Region codes, by industry agreement, are enforced by both hardware and software. So, even on a PC you'd need to have a region-free drive (usually done by using a special program to modify the firmware) AND prevent the software from noticing (e.g. using DVD Genie) or using a video player that ignores region codes (e.g. MPlayer, Xine, VLC).
That said, region codes are something that's set by the authoring software and most that I know of (e.g. Apple's DVD Studio Pro, dvdauthor) default to a “region-free” setting (mask = 0×0, 0×40, 0×80, 0xc0). If a copy is available, the region code mask is the byte at offset 0×23 in VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.IFO ; you can use a hex editor to check (0xED for OS X, HxD for Windows, etc.). I assume there's an easier way, but I'm not sure what it is.

Well, if I get myself a DVD here, I surely won't make myself a copy :P
And as I said, my PC will manage with or without a regionalcode :)
(Could somebody please change this maths-thing? It's far to easy and doesn't help me with my studies :P )

^ The maths thing is to prevent DoS attacks. Computers can calculate, but normally don't. Its just like CATCPHA or something… Software can crack it but its harder. One thing tho, shouldn't (long time) members not be subdued to this?
Never mind.
I don't think that is supported by WordPress… I think vBulletin does but…
