I used always flash my DVD ROMs to region free but AnyDVD makes it all unnecessary. It does, as Zone say, do deCSS on the fly so that any copier can read DVD videos, whether or not they include a deCSS module of their own.
Second, it makes the region problem, in all its guises, go away. It:
a. permits any region coded DVD to be read by any DVD ROM coded with any other region.
b. tricks more sophisticated checks into believing that the region on the disk is the same as the region on the DVD ROM, even when the ROM has been flashed to "region-free"
c. stops Windows running its own checks in software which can result in the software player running out of changes and needing to be fixed or reinstalled.
Have you tried CloneDVD? There are two CloneDVDs, one by Elaborate Bytes which used to produce CloneCD. It's version is 1.3.10.1, I think. This is the one I use and have yet to have a failure with it. The other CloneDVD, a later arrival, is made by DVD X Studio and is 2.1 I think. I have never tried this one so can't comment.
Last, if you've got a transcoded video and are having difficulty burning it, it might be worth trying CopyToDVD which does that job very well.
Hope this is useful.. I'm certainly no expert but I have made and burned many, many DVD videos with, fingers crossed, no coasters yet!!
