Burning a Dvd Without a Region Code

Burning a Dvd Without a Region Code

I have European DVDs and would like to watch them on my American DVD player, which complains about regional codes. So I would like to burn them without region codes.

I know this has been asked and answered before, BUT... the favorite tool seems to be K9Copy which, as far as I can tell, is no longer available for download. So now what? Brasero absolutely kept the regional code.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04.

From xenial on the k9copy package in ppa:tomtomtom/k9copy provides the Qt5 version. To install k9copy in Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04, open the terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tomtomtom/k9copy
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install k9copy  

Judging from your question, I get that you would like to try alternatives to k9Copy.

I've found two such apps although I haven't tried myself, so I can't talk from my own experience. But maybe you, or other users, will find them to be useful.
