Can I create a Region 2 DVD?

[bdrobnes]

I have transferred family video tapes to DVD. Is there software that would allow me to burn DVDs in Region 2 and PAL format so I can share these with our famiily in Europe?

Thanks

Thanks so much for your reply, jmet.
I had found that listing as well, but still need to know it I can create Region 2 DVD's which they would need to be able to play them on their DVD players

Make them region free with DVD Shrink, but that will not solve the PAL or NTSC format issue.

Sounds as if by combining the two I may acheive my goal of a PAL DVD playable in region 2.
Thanks again for your help!
I'll let you know if it works.

Once you've addressed the NTSC to PAL conversion, yes, you can from within DVDShrink choose to save as a Region 2 DVD.

Although the suggestion by "jmet" to make such a DVD "Region free" would most probably not foulup the playback ability, there ARE still some standalone DVD players in the world that will not play such a DVD. Therefore, I'd suggest that you err on the side of certainty and use DVDShrink to burn with ONLY Region 2 selected...

Region code FAQ. You don't need DVD Shrink to perform this function
