Newbie needs help w/PAL to NTSC and burn

[MOwen10]

I have a small problem and have been trying unsuccesfully for a week now to figure this out.

I have a PAL DVD that I have ripped to my HDD. It is about 5.7 Gigs and in PAL.

I would like to convert in to NTSC and rip it to DVD+R using my Memoriex DVD writer.

I have copied it to HDD and have gone through all possibilites... frameserve and convert to m2v file using the encoder, but then I can;t burn the file to DVD....If I try to convert it to VCD or SVCD format it's too big to fit on a disk.

I'm completely lost and have spend hours trying to figure it out.

The closest I've come is to improt the m2v into an authoring program and try to burn into DVD but again, the file's 5.7 G and my DVD is only 4.7...

WOuld really appreciate any help out there.

If you can believe this I actually have permission to do this but can't figure out how! I would appreciate ANY HELP that anyone can give.

Thanks!
