My brother just got the Final Fantasy Advent Children DVD. It's Japanese so we need a region 2 dvd player. The way we are going to get around this problem is by making a backup on the DVD and burning it as region 1. My quetion is; beucase my comupter is region 1, can i rip a region 2? I heard that i could change my comupter settings to region 2, but is that going to mess up my comupter? Or how else would I get this to work? Thanks a lot.

Simple solution: get DVD Decrypter and use that to rip it, then is DVD Shrink to make it fit on a 4.43gb DVD.

Both programs take care of the region stuff (and are free!).

Otherwise get AnyDVD which enables you to play it on PC as well without the nagging that you can change the region of your player (don't do it cause you can usually do that only a few times then it get locked in the last region you used).

Oh yeah: one more thing: isn't region 1 NTSC? Region 2 is PAL and you can't play PAL on NTSC (you can play NTSC on some PAL tv's however).

So you might not be able to play the DVD on a standalone player (the player will understand it cause it will think it's region 1, but you're TV might not be compatible with the PAL signal)...
