DVD region coding is printed into the DVD along with the rest of the data on the disc. It won't go away until the disc is destroyed.
Region coding is also present in most DVD players. Although there are some hacks that can remove the coding limitation, they invariably void all warranties, can sometimes kill the player and don't always work.
Generally, it is much less expensive and far less effort just to buy the right DVD for the right region.
The coding is present to limit the market for each distribution chain. The small saving in cost by buying an American disc to play in Europe is wiped out by the effort and cost of bypassing the coding, so the coding system works for the content producers.

Can a DVD created on a US computer be played in Europe on a DVD player?
A commercial DVD purchased in the US cannot be played on a regular DVD player in Europe because of region coding. Major movie studios around the world have forced this coding on discs to allow the studios to release the movie in different countries at different times. If you burn the DVD yourself, your software may allow you to select the region coding for the new disc. You could then allow it to be played anywhere. A DVD player know as a 'region-free' player would allow any disc to be played.

Where in the world is classed as Region 1 in regards to DVD's?

North American blu-ray player play region 2 bluray discs?
North America is classed as region 1 for DVD, Bluray and games coding. The codes are there specifically to prevent discs from one region being used in another. Region 2 covers Europe. There have been a handful of DVD players that did not check the region code and would play discs from any region. Bluray players appear to be far more tightly controlled and it is very unlikely that any commercially available player will allow the coding to be bypassed. It is possible that players can be modified to remove the coding restrictions but these are unofficial modifications, void warranties and cannot be guaranteed to work continuously. As frustrating as the region coding is, the easiest and lowest cost route to take is to buy discs intended for use on your own player. Note that as the region coding is a commercial protection, non commercial DVD and Bluray discs do not have the code and can be handled by any player. That is subject to the player and the television handling European 50Hz content. The US normally uses 60Hz video so there is still no guarantee that your specific setup will work. It's a case of studying the manuals to make sure.
How do you change your DVD driver code region?
DVD region codes are present to prevent users playing a DVD from one region, say North America on a player from another region, Europe for example. The region coding is a purely commercial restriction designed to control the release and distribution of content. The region coding is normally hard coded into the player's operating system and cannot be changed with any user controls. Some players can be changed to a new region or made region free with software enhancements but these are third party changes and will invalidate warranties for the players. The ever changing product lines make it impossible to suggest reliable third party software changes for models.

What DVD code is Bette Midler Divine Madness?

If you change your DVD player to be region free and you get a DVD that is region 2 will it play or will the DVD have to also be region free?
Europe is region 2 for DVD and Bluray disc encoding. Most region 2 discs will play without a problem in a UK player. Note that there is a facility to add a sub region to the code, so dividing Europe into smaller regions. It is rarely, if ever used, but technically, it is possible to further restrict the use of discs from the remainder of Europe in the UK.
