There are also some GUI utilities that are probably easier to use. Honestly, it may be easier to hack your player, depending upon the model. The majority of cheap Chinese DVD players sold in supermarkets are unlocked by pressing a few buttons on their remotes (eg. menu, 1, 2, 3, 4, eject), the code easily found on the net by searching Google (for model number region unlock or model number region free). If this applies to your DVD player then it will be much quicker many fewer button presses than copying the DVD. Stroller.

See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/user/194652 for a long discussion regarding this. The /path/to/your/file.iso can be played using mplayer (media-libs/ libdvdread USE=css), but is not suitable for writing to disk (if you want it to be playable on a standalone player, at least).
