region change

[ronb49]

I have a dvd that is region 2, is there anyway to change that to a region 1 so it will play on my dvd player? I have copy software that I can use. thanks:

The 2 potential answers I have (there may be other/better ones) are:
* recommended: use a decrypter like DVDFab HD Decrypter to decrypt the DVD to hard disk, then rewrite it without specifying Regions using a burner of your choice (ImgBurn recommended). Come to think of it, I don't recall having knowingly used DVDFab HD Decrypter to decrypt a disc with a Region that differed from my drive's, so I'd be grateful if you could post back your experiences.
* less attractive: change the region of your drive. This is easy to do if it's a computer drive, but the downside is that you're normally only allowed 5 changes, and you'd have to change it back to your normal Region 1 afterwards, hence 2 changes required.

Cheers,
Francois

Since we don't know what "copy software" you have, you have do do some manual work of yourself, check whether that "copy software" can change the region to 1 or 0.

Hi!

The following thread (from the Doom9 Forum) will provide you with multiple options regarding region change:

Further, good ol' DVD Decrypter has a facility (one simple click) to change the Region code...
