    Can anyone out there tell me how to copy and change the region code on Dvd disks? I would like to change the region code from 2 to 1. The end result is to be able to play the dvd copy on any dvd player in Canada.

    This is one I use on my W98SE system. A friend also uses it.

    DVD Region KIller Tray v2.5.0.2 http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/3/7/3-7-18.shtml

    REad the info on this site link under Product Description before installing this version.
    RegionKiller 2 takes care of the proper functioning of your (Region Code free) DVD Drive - from now on you`ll be able to watch foreign DVDs on your home theater PC without being hassled by possibly non-working DVDs.
    Windows 2000/XP: Do not use player software that uses an ASPI driver - RegionKiller 2 will not work. We recommend the latest versions of Cinemaster, ELSA, ATI or Power DVD
    Windows 95/98/ME: Before you install RegionKiller 2, please check if you`ve already installed a previous version of RegionKiller - if you have, please uninstall it before you do anything else. After the you`ve uninstalled, verify that the file REGKILL.VXD was removed from C:WINDOWSSYSTEMIOSUBSYS

    Check out the fine print on whatever the latest version is. Have never bothered to check what the current version is.

    It works fine for us on UK, USA and Australian DVD's. Bazza

    Lots of DVD players have "hack" codes that may be buried in the manual or obtainable off the Internet. I suggest that you google quoting the make and model of your DVD and "hack" or "region code" or "forum" or similar. You will probably get relevant hits. Just out of curiousity, what is the make and model of your DVD player. Bazza
