media-video/dvd9to5 allows you to copy dual-layer disks to single- |
| 33 |
layer disks, with the penalty of some quality loss. |

There are also some GUI utilities that are probably easier to use. |

Honestly, it may be easier to hack your player, depending upon the |
| 41 |
model. The majority of cheap Chinese DVD players sold in supermarkets |
| 42 |
are unlocked by pressing a few buttons on their remotes (eg. menu, 1, |
| 43 |
2, 3, 4, eject), the code easily found on the net by searching Google |
| 44 |
(for "model number region unlock" or "model number region free"). If |
| 45 |
this applies to your DVD player then it will be much quicker & many |
| 46 |
fewer button presses than copying the DVD. |
