Totally useless advice, and bound to produce just as useless results.
These companies DO NOT CARE about individuals.

One way you might go about doing this is to rip the various DVD files to
local media (DivX or other format)... then remaster a DVD with those
files (your newly mastered DVD will be region 0).

Go to Synaptics (package manager) and look for the package called
"dvdrip". Work from there.
