I don’t know anything about a 5-region-mismatch limit. you might look in Universe for regionset and associated docs for more information.

Also, if you have the free space for it, I’d recommend trying mplayer to just dump the streams you want into separate files and then mux them together. Each rip ends up being 6-8 GB but you lose nothing in quality. It also doesn’t take nearly so long to rip that way.

Solution though,is to by an Australian DVD Drive…Ours are region free!

Have you considered handbrake (handbrake.fr) for ripping dvd’s as well? It’s a nice cli application that just does the job (very well). I’ve been using it successfully to backup my entire dvd collection.
