Not only that, Ann, even if a DVD is the right type it may not work. If a DVD is coded for a region your player is not, it will not play. The DVD needs to be coded for North American distribution, unless you bought a DVD player with some other region coded in it as may happen if you ordered it from somewhere else. Buying things on the internet can be fun.
