...specific...? Like is there some difference in machines or in technology that means that a DVD bought on eBay from USA will not operate in New Zealand for example...?
 
There are two problems
a) Video standards- usually NTSC (North America) vs PAL/SECAM (rest of the world)
b) Region coding

So, unless in NZ, you have a Region-free, universal DVD player, I wouldn't buy a DVD from the US .
