Hi I have about 20 DVD's that are in PAL format or some other format.
It's not a problem for me because I have 2 region free DVD players. But I can't let family and friends borrow them because of the region problem. If u can change this setting can some1 tell me a program to use and hopefully a guide to use it thank U.

DVDFAB Decrypter, AnyDVD, DVD Decrypter, Ripit4me - any of these should remove region coding. You will have to reburn the discs though. Also, if any of your friends and family are in NTSC countries, they might not be able to watch your discs: unless they have a DVD player that will convert, PAL discs won't play on NTSC players.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
