I want to back up a DVD and change the region code in the process.

Hi, first, be aware, that backup of a copirighted DVD may be illegal in some countries :)
Nowhere that I know of, but changing the region code probably is :-)
Anyway, to backup a DVD to your hard drive, removing the protection and the region code, you need to install: libdvdread - from packman's site liddvdcss - from videolan site
libdvdread is already in SuSE 9.3, maybe in earlier versions too. I certainly do not remember selecting it, so it must be part of the dependencies from what I did choose. However, I am unable to find out what requires it. libdvdnav is also installed, and nothing seems to depend on it. Maybe I should try to remove them in Yast and see what complaints are triggered :-)
you also nee dvdbackup (google).
There is also an unrelated kdvdbackup which is already on packman in rpm format for SuSE 9.3.
