do .avi or .mpg video files have regions?

[Bling_Dogg01]

Hi,

I can't find a hack for my laptop computer's DVD player to make it region-free, so I have a limited number of switches. My question is: if I play a divx/.avi/.mpg or other video file that was burnt onto a DVD (they're just data discs with video files, not actual DVDs), do they correspond to a certain region? I'm not sure if video files have region limitations. Thanks!

If you get DVD43 or AnyDVD, or decrypt a DVD to disc (whether you convert it to avi/mpg or not), all region protection is completely removed. Video files can have DRM, but usually only wmv and m4v do, almost no divx/avi/mpg/mkv will, and that's not related to region switches.

Thanks for answering. :)

Just to confirm, I won't have problems regarding regions when playing divx/avi/mpg/mkv?
