IfoEdit PAL to NTSC

[bambamrl]

I have a PAL dvd which I converted to NTSC with IfoEdit. When I played the movie in PAL version I was able to use my mouse to click on menu buttons to go to Chapters, Audio, etc... Now after converting to NTSC with IfoEdit I can see the menu when I click on VIDEO_TS file and movie starts but I can't click on any menu button besides the play button on WinDVD. Any suggestion on how to fix this with IfoEdit or any other programs?
Thanks..

You didn't convert the movie, it is still PAL, not NTSC.

You just jiggered the files to think that it is NTSC....

If you had converted it, it would have required other software that does video conversion, IE TMPGenc, CCE, CCE Basic etc. And would have required hours to convert.

If you want it as NTSC, then be prepared to spend the time to convert formats and then re-author it.

bambamrl I assume you just changed the PAL references to NTSC in the VIDEO_TS.ifo. First off, you didn't convert anything you simply changed how the disk will be read. Whether or not you get PAL, NTSC, or playback at all depends entirely on how the decoder responds to this very strange request to decode one thing as another.

With that said, did you remember to click get VTS sectors after making your changes? Often when you go around editing ifo's you have to update the links or they are lost. My suggestion is to copy the original ifos off the DVD and try it one more time.

Another remote possibility is that your subpictures are not matching up with your buttons drawn on the menu. PAL has a larger resolution than NTSC, and if your decoder is decoding it as NTSC than its possible the screen is shifted in a certain direction. So your ch1 button may be off in space somewhere, not matching what is drawn on your menu
