• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I recently bought a DVD on Ebay. I didn't realize that it was for region 2. Is it possible to change it so it can play on a region 1 DVD player?

Be aware that this might not be enough to playback your movie. Region 2 is Europe, which uses a different video broadcast standard (PAL not NTSC). I don't know if your DVD player can handle that.

If you can return it to the seller, tht would be ideal. The term you are looking for in buying a DVD player is "Region-Free" ... they play ANY DVD's from anywhere in the world. Good luck!
