You mean Regional DVDs? Like playing a Region 1 in the UK, for that you need a region free dvd player. Dunno what else you could mean tho

I think he means on youtube...

Maybe he means the US TV networks that let you rewatch shows on their websites .. if you live in the US.

Sounds a lot like you're trying to get around copyright restrictions to me...

No I don't think it's that. Youtube sometimes blocks countries from accessing certain uploaded video's. Possibly other streaming sites do to. I think this is what he's talking about.

To be fair we could speculate on it all night, given the crap info in the OP

Am wondering why anyone in this day and age with the collective knowledge of the entire human race at their finger tips is worried about region encryptions on "videos"?

I'll say no more
