Actually, all you should need to do is rip it to disk via DVDDecrypter (which
will strip region encoding) and then create a new DVD with Nero Recode (which
re-compresses the video stream with no regional encoding). Should be trivial to
do, and many people already own Nero (it's given away with many DVD burners),
while DVDDecrypter can be found on various sites for free around the 'net.
