DVD Burn/Conversion Help?

Post subject: DVD Burn/Conversion Help? Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 06:02 PM

A friend asked me to convert a PAL region 2 DVD to all region NTSC. I've used a couple programs with no luck, so I figured I'd ask and see if anyone has experience doing so. The easiest route would be most appreciated, but I'll take anything I can get. Thanks.

Nero Recode in the Nero Ultimate suite should be able to do it. Pair it with AnyDVD to remove the protection and you should be set.

The problem is converting to NTSC. PAL is a 50-field, 25 FPS while NTSC is 60 field, 30 FPS.

You will need to re-process the video to convert the frame rate. Then, if you're lucky the soundtrack won't de-sync.

Nero recode might work with little hassle, but if it does not, There's a lot of free tools out there to perform this, but none has the simple elegance of Nero recode.

www.doom9.org has articles and links that should get you started. You will learn more than you ever wanted to know about how much of a pain in the ass video really is.
