they are the same format.

Answer 5

Blu-ray players support region coding, and the US and UK are in different regions.

That means that if the disk is region coded you won't be able to play US disks in a UK player.

However, the majority of Blu-ray disks are NOT region coded. But don't chance it ... check for specific disks at the link.
