I recently got a large set of dvd's that are region 2,4. I live in USA & was wondering if i can copy these & have them play on region 1 players. I'm currently using dvd shrink_dvd decryptor_clonedvd. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be more than appreciative :)
When you use Decrypter it will take the region code off for you.
Your problem is going to be converting from PAL to NTSC...
It can be done though and with a free proggy; VobBlanker
For those wanting to convert PAL to NTSC, download the program. Rip your movie to the hard drive with DVD Decrypter. Then open your newly ripped files with VOB blanker. Under the title set block (center of program window), you'll see your VOB files. The center column says "video format". My example says NTSC 4:3 720x480. If you right click on the VOB's you want to convert, then select "video attributes", you'll see a new window pop up. In this window, you can change the "standard" from PAL to NTSC and vice versa. You can even change the resolution in this window.
Do the above, then select or make a new output folder. Click on "process" at the bottom and let the conversion begin. You can then use DVD Shrink or any other compression/burning program of your choice to burn your newly converted NTSC or PAL dvd (whichever you chose to convert to).

I just tried doing that today (converting PAL to ntsc) and my dvd player says it's the wrong format. I tried a few times and ran the files through Shrink just to make sure that it was correctly structured, still a no go.
