DVDs are usually encoded with a region number. North America is number 1 and Europe is region 2. In order to play a DVD, the disc and the player need to be coded as the same region.
Most US DVDs therefore won't play on most English players. There are a handful of players that ignore the region code but most are third party modifications and often will not be covered by any manufacturer's warranty.
