| Posted: | | | | If we choose the country of manufacture, most discs (especially R1) would be Mexican. The original release of a DVD would not distinguish between language versions. Surely the only sensible "locality" is the country that the DVD is marketed for, which usually is reflected in languages, subtitles and cover art. And sometimes the choice will be difficult, since US-originated discs will usually only have one German language version for Germany, Austria and Switzerland combined (although a specific Swiss version might in addition have French text). | | | Hans |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting Staid S Barr: Quote: With locality Netherlands, you would expect Dutch subtitles (if there is no Dutch sound option). If that is not present, it is more likely to be a UK disc. Don't think so, if it was a UK disc it would either have a BBFC certificate or an E Exempt logo on it. Again hard to tell from the scan, but I couldn't see either. Besides I have a German music dvd (it has a German rating logo on it) where everything else is in English. | | | IVS Registered: January 2, 2002 |

| Posted: | | | | My logic was the reverse, without any Dutch text on the cover or the disc, it is unlikely to be a locality NL disc. Of course one has to look at what is actually on the disc to assess what its most likely destination is (since origin is covered in other places). In this particular case it may even be something generic for Europe. | | | Hans |

That's not always the case, take for example the Dutch release of "A Goofy Movie", English and Dutch language, but no Dutch subs, only many different others altough the artwork was pressed in the Dutch language. But I get your point. Dutch subtitles become optional if actual Dutch language is present, of course. Doesn't happen so often though. But in your example there would be little doubt that the locality is NL (unless there is French language on the cover, which would make it BE). | | | Hans |

| Posted: | | | | The same DVD with exactly the same cover can be valid for more than one locality. This is specially true for music DVDs. I have seen music DVDs with more than one rating logo on the cover, so that it can be sold in several countries. |
