I use DVD shrink along with Nero. I have several Region 2 dvds I would like to back up into Region Free/0. I notice on DvdShrink it lets u pick the appropriate Region..but I have heard that you can only do this 5 times then it will lock to that region. is this correct. Any FREE programs that would allow me to do this? thank you

Incorrect.
That pertains to the burner only. Removing the region code from your movie files will not harm or change your burner's setting. Just set it to region free in Shrink and then use your favorite burning program.

If you constantly change the burners settings and you reach the limit, you will be stuck with the last setting that you chose and you will not be able to change it.

Correct.
Why do you need to change the burner's setting?

Leave your burner alone.
Make a region free disc with DVD Shrink.
The settings in Shrink have nothing to do with your burner. Only the files that you're working with.

Burn with ImgBurn.
