"I have what I think is region two DVD's. Can they be duplicated or
transcribed to our region?"


You may even find that your own DVD player can be easily converted to play
multi-region discs.
Rather than make entirely different DVD players for different markets many
manufacturers make their players switchable using internal software - they
just don't tell us.
For example, my particular player was changed in seconds from Region 2 to
multiregion by pressing a sequence of buttons on the remote control while
the tray was open.

Each player is likely to be different. Try Googling the make and model of
your player and words and phrases such as "software hack" and "multiregion".
If there is a hack for your machine it is probably on a website somewhere. I
certainly wouldn't now buy a machine without first checking that it can be
hacked.

Even if your present machine can't be converted it would be worth your while
to look for an inexpensive machine to buy which can be hacked - it would be
a lot easier, probably cheaper and certainly less time-consuming than trying
to convert Region encoded DVDs.

Good Luck
