DVDs have reigon codes. A PS3 sold in the US will only play DVDs and Blu-Rays that have a region code of 1. DVDs sold in Brazil have the region code of 4, so they will not work.

It's probably because the region code on your disc doesn't match the region code set in your PS3. If you want to watch the DVD movies on your PS3, the only way would be to rip the DVD to MP4 and use the built-in video player app on your PS3 to play the video. Check out this post and see how to rip Blu-ray/DVD to MP4 to play on your PS3: How to Rip and Convert Blu ray to MP4 with Blu ray to MP4 Converter

Wrong region
probably you are trying to play a disc that is not zone free or you need a code for your player to make it zone free. you may be playing a zone 2 disc ( PAL) on a machine that only takes zone 1 (NTSC) or vica-versa.

I try to play to a dvd it appears that the ZONE is not valid. Please tell me how to set it so I can play all recorded zones.
Is it one DVD in particular or all DVDs?

If it is only one DVD where did you get it from?

If it is all DVDs where did you buy the HTS from?

DVD zones are specific to the region you live in..

I want to play the dvds of animation like kungfu panda & madgascar etc.but the message that my ps3 displays is that region code does not match.I bought the ps3 and dvds in Delhi India & my location...
The DVD movie you are trying to play does not match the region code of your player which is your PS3. These movie discs might not be under the same region and you have to comly to the DVD region code settings to make it work. If it says region code does not match, it means that it is unsupported and not compatible with your PS3.

American DVDs unable to play for my PS3
At this time the region lock on ps3 only includes DVD and ps1-2 titles. Although some games will have the 80028F10 error. Most ps3 and blue ray will play without problems, my only suggestion being that if you are in the US, make sure you get a US ps3.

hope this helps.
