The RPC-1 region code is a bit-wise char field @ position 0x23 in
the VIDEO_TS.IFO file.

Bits are cleared if enabled, 0 means "all regions" and such a disk
should play on any player that can deal with the video encoding
and/or the audio format of the MPEG-TS.

(Which won't get you very far if your NTSC TV can't display SECAM
or PAL).
