The PS3 is region free for games but not Blu-rays and DVDs. It's probably because the DVD has a different region code than your PS3 and there's basically no way to get around it. You may try making a region free copy of your DVD using programs like Leawo Blu-ray Copy or rip the DVD to MP4 and play it with the video player on your PS3. This is the tutorial for ripping Blu-ray/DVD to MP4: hope it helps. How to Rip and Convert Blu ray to MP4 with Blu ray to MP4 Converter

When i try to play a dvd on my ps3 its telling me region code not found

hi there,
the ps3 will only play dvd's from your region(e.g. region 1 usa, 2 europe etc..) So depending on where you got your dvd, if it's not the region as your ps3, the ps3 will not play the dvd. however the ps3 will play blu-rays and games from anywhere in the world as it plays region-free blu-ray discs. I know it's a pain in the neck, but you will have to find a region free dvd player to play that dvd. Hope this helps.

Trying to play dvd This disc cannot be played. The region code is not correct.

The dvd you are trying to play is most likely not for the region in which your PS3 plays them. If your PS3 is a USA Region player then you can only plays disks that are from USA Region.
