There are two layers of DVD authentication on devices that choose it. The first is region coding (which is irrelevant nowdays at least in europe as everyone buys region free players or two drives). The second is CSS which controls access at the sector level without a cryptographic handshake between the drive and the DVD playing application. Without the CSS parts of the media are errored by the drive firmware.
