[Cialug] Strip Region Encoding on DVDs?

[Claus]

Your problem won't be the region code but that Germany uses PAL and the 
USA uses NTSC.  So unless you have a DVD player that supports PAL to 
NTSC conversion you are stuck.  I have one (Sampo 611) that can convert 
and doesn't care about the region code after feeding it with a special 
DVD. :)

Of course your other alternative is to rip and re-encode the movie to 
NTSC.  Lot of work, loss of video quality, and loss of menu and special 
features.
