EDIT *Yes, with the correct software you should be able to watch DVD's from other zones on your computer. Some DVD players are also set to zone 0 and able to play the DVD's, but for that you will need to check the information on your DVD player model.
If you don't have software to run zone 2 DVD's, here is the link (the very same link you will have come accross on the wikipedia page if you've read it) for a program that will run them: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) *

This question could have been very easily been answered by a google search, but in essence, producers of DVDs have divided the planet into distribution zones.
The US is in zone 1. Most DVD players in America will only play Zone 1 DVDs. You can check yours, but you will probably need to find a zone 1 copy of the disk, or else watch them only on your computer.
