open the DVD image in DVD Shrink and then make a 'backup'. It will auto make the movie region free.

You cannot make a pc region free. its the DVD-player/burner that has a region code protection.

There is a program called 'DVD Region+CSS Free (http://free-codecs.com/download/DVD_Region_CSS_Free.htm)' that enables you to watch and copy any region code CSS-encrypted DVD movies but in my opinion it's easier to open and save a dvd image with DVD Shrink.

Slysoft's AnyDVD will also allow you tp play DVDs from any region.

1- Region Protection
This is the common protection that can be found on every DVD, which is located in 'VIDEO_TS.IFO' only.
It's a simple bit-masked byte value that permits or prohibits the Regions from 1 to 6 (8).

To remove region protection simply press the button: http://www.ifoedit.com/images/rce.ht28.gif
This will change the value 'Regional Code Mask' in table 'VMGM_MAT', to permit every region in VIDEO_TS.IFO.
