Top DVD Region Killer Tools


Almost all commercial DVDs come with a Region code. This is, in fact, a way of protecting Digital Rights. The Region Codes on the DVDs would make the DVDs playable only on the DVD players that come with the same region code. How can you remove this region code from your DVDs? Let us check a few Region Killer Tools you can employ.

If your DVDs come with the region code, also referred to as Region Lock, you would not be able to play it on any DVD Player that has been manufactured outside that region. The DVDs with a particular Region Code will only be able to play on a DVD Player only with that Region Code. It should be obvious that the particular DVD with a regions code will only be made and available in that particular region. In fact, this is the way the Digital Rights Management is taken care of. If you want to remove the Region Code and make it possible to play the DVDs on any DVD Player, you will need to overcome the Region Code. Software tools capable of doing this are referred to as DVD Region Killers. Let us check out a few good DVD Region Killer Tools that would help you out in your mission.

    DVD Decryptor


    DVD Decryptor is an excellent option for backing up your DVD to your hard drive and removing the region locking features. Your encrypted DVD will be converted into a region free DVD.

    • The tool allows you to set specific region codes if you so wish.
    However, there is a concern though. The DVD region killer has stopped being updated for the last few years. As such, you may not be able to handle the encryption on the newer DVDs. You may not get an official support for the error messages you may get while using the tool.

    MakeMKV


    This is yet another DVD converter that doubles up as a perfect DVD Region Killer. It is a simple transcoder that converts our DVD files into MKV format. In fact, it can even work with your BluRay discs.

    Why did we rate it one of the best options for removing the region codes? Well, these are few reasons -
    • You can choose a particular chapter or the entire disc to remove region code.
    • It does not affect any of the chapters, audio/video tracks and other aspects without any loss.
    • It can handle a host of encryptions including CSS or other restrictions.

    One of the drawbacks we observed with MakeMKV is it converts your DVD into MKV format alone. That necessitates choosing another video converter tool. Moreover, the functionality of the tool is a little complicated.
