I also posted this on the DVD authoring thread ill see if this will help as well.

The file comes with a bunch of .rars. Once i unpack them I get a big ol' 4 gig .img file. So i burnt the img file using nero 7 and clicking the "burn an image to disk". (this seemed like the logical thing to do) It copied fine, and plays just fine on my computer, sound and everything. when i took the disk to my DVD player, it gave me an error saying that the disk is not NTSC. I have a big 60" tv that needs to be put to use. Could i have a little help please smile.gif

Thank you

It's PAL. Sounds like your player is NTSC only.

Next time you download something, make sure it isn't PAL. There is no nice way to convert this file. You will have

1. Demux the video and audio
2. Resize the video to NTSC resolution (720 x 480)
3. Encode the video to mpeg-2 specification with NTSC resolution but at PAL framerate (25 fps)
4. Apply pulldown with DGPulldown using the 25 fps -> 29.970 fps setting
5. Re-author the new video and the old audio into a new DVD structure
6. Burn and test

I suspect that it would be a lot less hassle just to go and buy an NTSC version of whatever it was you downloaded.

It would be nice if everything out there in PAL format was available in NTSC cool.gif

But if you're not that video encoding savy, it would be easier to just buy a standalone player that converts PAL to NTSC.
