Converting PAL to NTSC
I just converted a DVD with TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 and it worked beautifully! Download the trial version and try it out. I am totally pleased with the results.

Re: Converting PAL to NTSC
I find it easier to use my $30 cheapo DVD player that plays PAL and NTSC. I only bring this up in case folks read this and don't realize that option is there.
We don't allow PAL > NTSC to be seeded here so that is something to think about. No members have liked this post.

Re: Converting PAL to NTSC
The only cheap player that I like is made by Philips. Others have issues - either audio or video. I would never seed a converted dvd.

Or was it an avi file? Is this the newest TMPGEnc, the one I have does not do 25.00 fps to 29.97 as far as I know, although it will convert 23.97 to 29.97 with inverse 3:2 pulldown.

TMPGEnc DVD Author 3. I'm gonna buy it if not only for the chapter editing, as I transfer all my uploads here from tape. Try the trial version. No members have liked this post.

So it would take about 8 hours for a 4 GB DVD. Does it let you keep menus? I want to try IFO edit first.

Re: Converting PAL to NTSC
IFOedit works perfectly, takes about one minute to do, keeps the identical audio, and burns at normal speed, ie ten or twenty minutes insted of four hours for a full dvd. Can then be played on any almost any semi-new ntsc dvd player. Especially worthwhile if you care enough about good sound and picture to use a good player and not a piece o' crap $30 player. It has worked on all but one pal disc I've tried, of dozens.
IFOedit is freeware!

Re: Converting PAL to NTSC
Everything remains identical to the original, except that now it plays on ntsc players.
It's an almost perfect hack.

Again: it doesn't convert anything, it just changes a DVD control code. No members have liked this post.

I saw an option on the bottom that read "make region free". Has anyone tried this, and if yes, what does it do?
