Copying a DVD (literally) and removing region coding in the process

[Centauri]

Edit: Making an ISO backup from MakeMKV does seem to accomplish this, though the FAQ doesn't clearly state it. Closing thread...

I'm in an interesting spot here; I still buy DVDs, including a fair number of rare titles from overseas. I also have an Oppo Blu-ray player that is generally considered to have the best upscaling hardware ever available in the consumer market - but it's not region free.

So while I could simply use any number of pieces of software to rip these discs to MKV/MP4/whatever, that doesn't allow me to make use of my Oppo's hardware upscaling for watching them.

What would be a good method for me to basically copy the contents of these discs to a new disc, unaltered - aside from region code removal?

any number of programs will remove the region coding when you create a copy of a DVD.

Let's just assume I went that route and everything that came up is regarding trying to create a digital file.

But thanks I guess.
