How to change Dvd zone

[Donald]

Hello
I just received a DVD ordered on the internet, but I have only to realize that it is in Zone 1! So I would like to encode in the DEZONE (or putting it in Zone 2 in case) and PAL.
Is this possible and if so how, any method?
Thank you in advance and good evening.

Download "AnyDVD" and your problem will be solved.

thank you for answers, I managed with DVDShrink: I left the disc as is it at hand that I put the copy in multizone and it passes without problem.

How to change DVD region ?
The region can only be changed five times, before its set permanently.

In WinDVD: if a DVD from a region different than the default one is tried to be played, the dialog box for changing the DVD region code should appear. If that dialog box do not appear, check the region code set in the software:
Click Start, All Programs, Intervideo Win DVD, and Intervideo Win DVD.
Right-click the Win DVD window and select Setup or Properties.
Click the Region tab and check the region code selected.
If there is a 0 in the Changes Until Permanent field, the DVD region code will not be able to be changed again.
If a number from 1 to 4 appears in the Changes Until Permanent field, add a mark in the checkbox of the desired region and click OK. The new region will be set up.

In PowerDVD: the first time you insert a DVD title, to be played on PowerDVD, a small dialogue box will appear. It will set the region code to match that of the DVD title you wish to play. After this the program will be set. However, if you have a region free DVD-ROM drive, you have the option of playing DVD titles from different regions. PowerDVD will allow you to change the region code setting up to five times, and then it will be locked on the region you have listed on your fifth and last change. At that point you will only be allowed to watch DVD titles from that region. To change the region code, from the original setting, just insert the DVD title in your DVD-ROM drive and run PowerDVD. When the software recognizes that the disc is from a different region than what was previously set, a dialogue box will appear. For this example, the Current Region is Region 1. After changing from one region to another, I will have four changes left. The program detected the disc I inserted was from Region 2, so it selected this option. Once I click OK the Current Region will be changed to Region 2 and the DVD title will play.

yes ... rip it with somthing like dvd decrypter and remove the region code so its region free .. when you rip it you need to enter the correct region for the dvd first so its set correctly to get rid of it .. then reburn to a blank .. you may need dvdshrink first if your planning to reburn to a 4.7g disk ..
