I did a quick search but I am looking for a simple answer. Some DVD's that I want are only in PAL format. Can I at least play them on my computer screen/projector with VLC or something? I have all the normal DVD tools used by this forum's members.

or you could just go about a PAL to NTSC conversion i suppose

You can convert the DVD format over to NTSC with DVD Converter (part of the MPEG2WORKS package $10 shareware). I recently converted a PAL dvd to NTSC, the process took about 3 1/2 hrs start to finish. The conversion with DVD converter took 3 hrs and to place functioning menus with DVD Studio Pro took 1/2 hr. The picture quality is actually very good too.

Conversion is fine if you cant afford other options. My suggestion is to buy a DVD player that converts PAL to NTSC and region free. I just got the Philips DP642, a DVD/SVCD/VCD/MP3 player that plays MPEG-4 AVI files as well as data CD/DVD with MPEG1/2 files. A simple key combination from the remote makes the player region 0. All that for $62.

Serbian, you out there? How does DVD Converter handle subtitles? Most of my PAL DVDs are subtitled. What's the process for keeping these?
Thanks. -
Unfortenatly, You have to re-author Your DVD again after the conversion and add subtitles manually...My little helper tool does not handle subs...
