USA & Canada – Region 1

No Comments »

This section is for our friends in the US/Canada as well any other place where Region 1 DVDs are required. All available animated DVDs are listed below each with the selection of languages that can be accessed.
I found it extremely difficult to find DVDs in region 1 with languages other than French and Spanish. It seems that is all that is in supply. So the next best thing is to buy it in Region 2 or 4 and then convert it. The process is easy and free. All you need is a PC.Read below. There’s plenty of technology out there that can save you as long as you use it only for times like these.For those who don’t know, DVDs are copy-protected, and Regions are a form of copy protection. Disks are encrypted to only be able to be played in Regions where they are purchased. Anyway, the program that I’ve found to be best suited to the task at hand is called DVD Shrink and you can download it by clicking here. DVD Shrink is free (and is also devoid of spyware, adware, malware, and viruses), vetted by thousands of users, and is incredibly simple to use. Once you have downloaded and installed DVD Shrink on your PC (sorry Mac users) with DVD-ROM drive, place the DVD you need to “deregionalize” in the drive and DVD Shrink will auto-launch. Press the friendly, big, square button to begin the ripping process — the film and its menus and audio (and everything else) will be extracted to your PC. When finished, you will be prompted to put in a DVD-R (or DVD-R/W). Once that is done, you will be asked a few questions, one of which pertains to the region you would like to encode onto the new DVD. NOTE: Choosing “all regions” will not necessarily work. You may opt for the sure thing and burn the DVD for your own region. The entire process takes about 30 minutes (depending on how fast your DVD drive is), and the result is a lossless copy of your DVD (no degradation in quality).
