looking to convert a pal dvd to ntsc simplest way possible

[harveymasons]

I have been reading this forum and it seems there is NO easy way to convert a pal dvd to ntsc dvd??

I ordered some dvds on e-bay from the UK I live in US and my player only supports the ntsc format.

I have a dvd burner put have no experience in doing this type of thing.

Would someone be kind enough to post a step by step guide on how to do this using the easiest software?

I am aware that I wil need morwe then one software to do this but I am willing to give it my best shot if someone can post what softwae I need and what to do exactly? Keep in mind that I am a newbie to all this.

Thannk you so much in advance,
Harvey

I would rip to HD using DVD Decrypter. Then encode the Main Movie to an MPEG file. After that import into TMPGEnc and re-encode using NTSC. Bring what it spits out into a DVD Authoring Program and you are set.

I dont know all the programs to use, I named the ones I would use in certain instances. Try the tools section.

I did one of these some time ago, and, if I remember correctly, it went something like this:

Rip with DVD Decrypter
Frameserve with DVD2AVI, but demux the audio to WAV.
Load .d2v and .wav file into TMPGEnc
Select NTSC DVD template, set bitrate, audio rate, etc.
Take the finished .mpg file and load it in an authoring program.

If you need more details on these programs, check the guides over on the right.

Good luck.
