Convert pal m2vs to ntsc?

[themafia_69]

hey guys, im making a dvd with some music videos in dvd lab pro, and i have some files that wont import into the assets, because they are pal, or they arent the right size, how can i convert the pal ones to ntsc? the ones that were the wrong size but ntsc i just pulled into pinnacle studio 9 and reencoded to an mpeg2 dvd file, if possible how can i get pinnicle to read pal files as it doesnt support it. i guess that would be the easiest way?

if it would help dvd lab pro made them into mpv files also but i still cant import them into any program like tmpgenc

You cant import them because you cant mic PAL and NTSC on the same disk. Pinnacle should be format agnostic, so loading PAL files should not be a problem, however it usually isn't as simple as then saving out as NTSC. Have a look at the guides on your left under How To. There are a number of format conversion guides there.

no pinnacle gives an error when u try to import a pal video, and i just found out the file that i converted in pinnacle is messed up, every like 4 seconds it pauses for a bit then continues

Just saving out as PAL can cause jerkiness as you are throwing away frames (4.97) per second. Read the guides from my last post. You may be able to use virtualdubmod or another freeware app to keep your costs down.

ok it worked, now i have a question about dvd lab pro, im all done with the dvd, but theres something pestering me, when i see the menu in dvd lab pro, the menu text and buttons, are crisp, but after i made the dvd and i open it with powerdvd the text is jagged, and i want to fix it if possible before burning the dvd, cuz im ganna make like 25 copies for friends, thanks for your replies
