<p>DVD has revolutionized the field of home video, bringing widescreen films and special features to the mass market in a way that laserdisc never did, and using low prices to encourage purchase instead of rental.</p> <p>This category is for sites related to DVD in general: the format, the technology, and other subjects not covered by any subcategories.</p> <p>Sites that provide news, reviews, articles, and release schedules belong in the subcategory for the DVD region they cover. Specifically:</p> <ul> <li><a href="/Arts/Movies/Home_Video/DVD/Region_1/">Region 1</a> - United States, U.S. territories, and Canada</li> <li><a href="/Arts/Movies/Home_Video/DVD/Region_2/">Region 2</a> - Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Egypt, South Africa, and Greenland</li> <li>Region 3 - Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Hong Kong</li> <li><a href="/Arts/Movies/Home_Video/DVD/Region_4/">Region 4</a> - Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Mexico, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean</li> <li>Region 5 - Russia, Eastern Europe, India, most of Africa, North Korea, and Mongolia</li> <li>Region 6 - China</li> </ul> <p>Sites that cover two or more regions belong in the <a href="/Arts/Movies/Home_Video/DVD/Multi-Region/">Multi-Region</a> subcategory. Currently, not all regions have subcategories, but they will be created when there are sites to populate them.</p>
