RPC-1 and RPC-2 are designations applied to firmware for DVD drives. Older DVD drives use RPC-1 firmware, which allows DVDs from any region to play. Newer drives use RPC-2 firmware, which enforces DVD region coding at the hardware level. See DVD region code#Computer DVD drives for further information.

Newer RPC-2 drives can be converted to RPC-1 with the same features as before by using alternative firmware on the drive. Flash tools can be downloaded at http://files.rpc1.org. Most drives are OEM Lite-On drives and require use of LtnRPC for multi-region and LtnFW to deal with firmware.
