PAL DVD to NTSC

[sith33]

Hey there - I'm wondering if ffmpegX can be used to convert a PAL dvd to NTSC. I've already got it copied to disk, I just need to get from the PAL Vobs to something I can burn again and play back on an ntsc dvd player. Any tips?

I've been trying to sort this out - using the DVD[mpeg2enc] preset and changing the framerate to 29.97 gives me a m2v that plays too fast, as one might expect. Using the DVD[ffmpeg] preset gives very messed up audio.

Do I need to basically convert to something like DV and then just reencode to an NTSC dvd?

That should work. Quicktime handles framerate conversions pretty well.
