you just want the DVD on your PC so you can watch them on your tele?

i think you can use windows media player to "rip" the dvd to your PC............

You need to make your dvd drive reigon free, google for a reigon free hack, the you need something like xillisoffts dvd ripper to archive. Them to divx etc, xillisoft can be found free if ya know where to look.

All DVD region killer does is see it as a region free disk. No burn/rip options at all.

I've not used it in a while MikeR but in the settings it should be already set to region free whatever dvd you rip. Its just a case of popping a dvd into your drive and choosing from the top menus (cant remember which one exactly) if you want to rip just the movie or the whole dvd

it shouldn't matter what regoin the dvd is as long as you can rip it to the HDD. PC's play all diffrent regions (mine does) and you will be watching it through the pc connection on your tv ??? so the region shouldn't matter, unless you want to put them back on a dvd and watch them on a region locked player.
