You COULD always backup your DVDs (assuming they are not copyrighted that is) using a tool such as DVD Shrink which will remove the region protection for you...

*Please note that I do not advocate or suggest the use of this freeware tool for DVD backup creation to copy any copyrighted works as this would not be a legal use of the tool. DVD Region protection is there so that the relevant country's governments can skim off a nice little profit for themselves in the form of sales tax and we shouldn't interfere with that. *
