To play region 2 dvd on region 1 player, you should convert the dvd to other format, like avi. Because, dvd copy software can't copy Pal DVD to NTSC DVD. Although it can copy all the content, the burned dvd can't be played on your player.
Usually the dvd drive can read dvd of any regions, if your drive isn't special.
Now, please first make sure if your dvd player can play divx avi file, then use our avi converter software to rip this dvd to avi format, then burn it to a blank CD disc to have a try.
You may download avi converter from
