Rip it to your PC (with DVD Decrypter or DVD Shrink) then re-burn it back to a DVD-r as no region.

OR

make your DVD player region free : DVD Player Hack list. Looking for a hack? Start here. - AVForums.com plus there's another site i can't access from work that also gives the way to access the engineer menu and make it region free.

what do i use to burn it to a dvdr with no region??

anydvd running in the backgound while useing any dvd burning software might work but as said above i think the region is removed while beign ripped not while beign written. try it. use anydvd burn the film, if it doesnt work rip it while anydvd is running and reburn.

Dead simple, go get AnyDVD and rip the DVD, then burn it back onto a blank DVD using IMGBurn as suggested

All defaults on AnyDVD are set to remove region coding automagically and IMGBurn is FREE


You can use AnyDVD as a trial as long as you want, you just won't be able to save any settings and it has a countdown to force you to wait before you can rip the DVD, so really its also free just very very annoying hence you then go register it to get rid of the counter

If its bigger than a 'normal' DVD-R, run it through DVD Shrink, which is also FREE (even though its not updated anymore but people still use it)

Or have a look at DVD-RB free, which uses HCEnc to give a much better quality output than DVD Shrink, but is much slower, as it rebuilds the DVD from scratch to match a given bitrate where DVd Sjrink strips what it think syou won't see, much like MP3 in stripping what it thinks you won't hear to get the very small file sizes

dvdregion&cssfree great program runs in the background makes your pc think any disk inserted is non copy protected, use dvd shrink and nero to burn.
