DVD NTSC To PAL

[Squid_uk]

I have a DVD that i have ripped that is NTSC i there a way to convert it to PAL

i have looked in the guides and how to section but cannot not find the right 1

I do not believe for one second that you have looked in the guides section. If you did, you will have found the correct guide. It took me less than 30 seconds to find it.

Here is a guide to finding it:

- Click on "Convert"
- Click on "How to convert PAL to NTSC or NTSC to PAL / Framerate conversions"
- Take your pick.

As well as that, a forum search would have given you a lot to work with.

PLEASE MAKE AN EFFORT!

[Squid_uk]

ok but im not sure which one i should use for a dvd

[Cobra]

I'll give you a clue - the guide you need is labelled with DVD.....

[Squid_uk]

ok jimmalenko no needs to brown nose

Sorry for bein dumb Cobra but what im looking to do is convert the whole dvd (features trailers etc)

[jimmalenko]

It was more directed at Cobra since he was on his high horse and all

Squid_uk - You will need to convert each and every part on it's own if you want the entire disc.

You do not need to convert NTSC to PAL.

Most UK DVD players will play NTSC and convert internally for TV use. Just remove the region protection if you don't have a region hack.

100% agree with <rhegedus>, its a pointless excercise unless you have the 1 DVD player in the UK that doesnt play NTSC movies (note: ensure you burn for region ZERO or region 2 and not R1 though...maybe thats the real problem?)

Any suggestions on what software to use

P.s Its my tv that won't let me watch the dvd correctly

Just a shot in the dark

[Squid_uk]

Thanks for the help sacajaweeda but i think i am now getting confused

i take it the region hack will allow the dvd player to remove the region from the disk

or am i supposed to use something on my computer the remove the region setting from the disk?

Sorry!!

A region hack for your dvd player will allow it to play discs from any region.

If you don't have a hack, you need to rip the DVD to hard-drive using something like DVDdecrypter and then either burn the files to DVDR if they all fit, or transcode with something like DVD2ONE to get it to fit on a DVDR and then burn.

DVDdecrpyter, DVD2ONE and Nero - all you'll ever need.

i have already ripped the dvd using dvd shrink but im not sure where to start with the converting or removing the region

[Martyn1980]

I dont think you have to go to all this hassle, and lose quality by re-encoding it, the DVD will look and especialy sound totally different afterwards.

Are you sure theres not NTSC to PAL conversion on the DVD Player?

If not, then are you connecting the DVD player to the main scart socket and enabling RGB on the DVD Player.

Even my 15 year old bedroom TV will play NTSC as long as it in RGB.

[monzie]

When you used DVDShrink did you check the 'DVD Region' tab in the 'BACKUP DVD' box (set it to region free if it isnt)?

Can you post the make /model of your DVD player?

'totally different'???

If he doesn't have a region hack then we're not even going to get as far as conversion

My dvd player is a pioneer dv-350

[Martyn1980]

If its converted to Pal, the sound will be speeded up, and if your used to the NTSC version, it will sound totally different.

I dont think the Region is the problem, if you scroll up, he mentions that its his TV that wont play it properly, not the DVD player.

Squid_uk, when you play the NTSC DVD, does your DVD player play it, and its messed up on the TV, or does the DVD player refuse to play it?

Try here for reviews on this player:

and, for a region hack AND problems with REGION 1 playback with this player...try here.....good luck .....oh but with DVD players so cheap now in the UK it would be easier to just spend around £30 on a new one (imo) or for a few quid more buy an avi enabled player (even Argos are selling them now).

People converting from PAL to NTSC don't seem to notice the 1/25th difference. In fact, most of the US stuff we see on TV or DVD has been converted from NTSC without us noticing.

We don't know this for certain since squiddy hasn't tried it without the region protection being stripped.

And, as you say, even a 15-year old TV will play NTSC so it's unlikely to be the problem.

Its not that noticable unless you are used to the original, obviously you cant notice a difference if you have nothing to compare it too, and Music DVD are particulary noticable.

Nope we dont, thats why i asked him.

Yes, and old TV will play NTSC, but only if the TV and DVD player is setup properly.
If hes not using a Scart lead or RGB enabled on the DVD player then it will be B/W, also if it has 2 scart sockets, usualy only the first one is RGB enabled.

I still get people coming to me with import DVD's and games complaining that they're not colour.

I must be lucky - haven't had a set-up problem that stopped my viewing pleasure

Import games? I'm not a big gamer but I assume you're talking about the video content of PS2 games, yes?

[Martyn1980]

You either have been lucky or your TV can display a raw NTSC signal, or your TV and DVD player are set to RGB by default, not all are, a lot default to composite, even through a scart lead, which i thought squids problem might of been.

Yeah PS2 games, surprising how many people still use RF leads.

[Squid_uk]
