VCR Tape to DVD (but can i do in NTSC?)

[Worfy]

Hi, just a quick question.. i have a panasonic dvd recorder (region 2), is it possible to record from a PAL video tape (non-commercial of course) onto DVD, but instead of PAL, record into NTSC?

I assume the tv system will just affect how we see it, not the actual format? because the input must be pal from the video..

If i cant, i was thinking i could record the video onto dvd-ram, then edit on here with nero, and make it trans/re-encode into ntsc. I take it TMPG Enc DVD Author won't do this as it keeps the original video (which would be in pal oh well)

Thx

You will have to reencode on your PC.
Look to the left "How to Convert".
