DVD help

We're moving from the UK to Vancouver BC for 2 years. We have a decent number of DVDs which we want to take with us, however, we're Region 2 over here, and as I understand it, North America is region 1.

What I'd like to know is: Will region 2 DVDs play on a region 1 player, or are multi-region DVD players easy to get hold of over there?

no and most likely yes.

if you have a dvd-rom/burner in your pc, strip the macro-restriction off and copy to hd. then burn a new dvd. lots of software out there, you just have to find it. it's not as if you're pirating for commercial use. this whole regionalisation shit is absurd.

you can get region free dvd players, or being able to hack them. Certain dvd players are hackable.
