What you have experienced is called Region Coding. The DVD you bought is encoded to Region 2, and in the US you would be trying to play it on a Region 1 machine. The way around it is to enable playback of all regions on your DVD player (many DVD player models have a hidden sequence of button presses to do so, Google will help you find it), or to buy a DVD player that will play discs from any region (the really cheap knockoffs usually will, as they don't usually follow DVD region restriction guidelines).

DVD’s are split into different regions with the idea if you buy a UK DVD it will not play in the US.
But you can get a multi region DVD player that will play DVD’s from any region, Amazon sell some now. Or you can play them on you pc http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsX...ns/regions.php
