DVD movies are region specific. This is a code on the disc which says where the DVD can be played. Region 1 is the USA, Region 2 is Europe and so on. If you have a Region 1 DVD in Europe, it won't play. Many people disagree with region encoding and enter a code into their DVD players to turn off this protection. The codes are all listed on the internet and are free to use. There are some DVDs which are Region 0, which will play anywhere. In short the answer is "no" unless it's a region 0 dvd or if the machine has been set to play anything

Can you play a DVD on your PC?

Most modern PC's will play DVD movies. However, you need to make sure your PC has a DVD drive. Some older or very low-end PC's have only a CD player, which will not play DVD's. Also, some laptop and notebook PC's save size and weight by omitting to have a built-in DVD drive. In this case you can plug an external DVD drive into a USB port.
