Across the world, different markets have different region codes. DVD
players in those markets are programmed to play only DVDs encoded with
that region code. These codes aren't always applied to DVDs, however
(some are region 0, which will play in all markets).

So there are two things you need to know - is the Otis Lee Crenshaw
DVD region encoded?
And, is there a region hack for your DVD player? (almost all DVD
players supplied to the UK, for example, can be hacked to allow all
regions with the minimum of effort.)

I don't have the DVD with me, but someone else might. They should be
able to tell if it's region encoded by looking at the back of the
case. Most music DVDs are not region encoded, so it's possible that
OLC won't be.

As for your DVD player, try typing the model number and "region hack"
into Google to see if it returns anything. If it doesn't, replace the
model number with the manufacturer, and see if another player's hack
will work with yours - these hacks are often simply a series of button
presses, using the remote control.
