Exact copy of a DVD minus the Region Lock

Post by ChrisHooper »

Description of problem or question:
Hello everyone.
I was wondering if HandBrake is capable of making an exact DVD duplicate that can be burned to a blank DVD but it be Region Free?
I have a DVD that I purchased from England and I would like to burn it to a blank DVD disc without it being region locked here in America.
Thank You,
Chris



Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):




HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):




Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):




HandBrake Activity Log ***required*** (see How-to get an activity log)

Code: Select all

Please replace this text with the contents of your log file between the two code tags - OR -  provide a pastebin URL in place of these 3 lines.
If you are unable to do so, please state why so we can help you.

Hi,

This is my first newbie post/question.

Let's say I have a couple of Macs networked with an AppleTV. If I change one Mac to region 2, would I be able to convert a region 2 DVD on it with HandBrake, then move it to the region 1 computer and be able to play that MP4 with AppleTV on devices that are set to region 1?

Cheers

No... HB doesn't rip or author DVDs.
