    Is it possible to rip a region2 PAL DVD and then convert it to svcd (to play back in widescreen NTSC?).

    I'd like to experiment with this, but I was just wondering if anyone has done it. There are several European DVDs I'd like to purchase and would rather not spend the money for a codefree player AND a converter (we're talking $800+ just to watch a $30 DVD).

    If it is possible, should I use DVD2SVCD and TMPG?

    Thanks,
    Bob

    DVD2SVCD does that conversion quite nicely -- but you might be interested to know that your DVD player will play PAL and NTSC SVCD's just fine.

    It's only with DVD's that there is a problem with the two formats - create a small SVCD and test it - I'm sure it will work

    so you just need to convert it to SVCD and probably best to leave it as PAL
    your pal,
