"ntsc tv/vcr to dvd" Playable in pal dvd players?

[SS-I]

Not sure if anyone have experience on this..

I'm planning to capture some tv shows (probably hockey) and vcr records to my pc and later burn them on DVDs. However, I am going to send these DVDs overseas to HongKong (I'm in Canada), where their TV & stuffs are PAL. I'm not sure if they can watch the DVDs in HK if the DVD player is Pal, while the shows I recorded here in Canada is NTSC.

I am currently looking at the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150, and doing one of those NTSC to PAL conversion on my computer before burning it on DVDs. Is this the correct way to make the DVDs playable using HK's DVD players?

Would it be too hardcore for this system?
Operating System: WinXP SP2
CPU Speed: 1.80 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64
Harddrive space: 80GB
RAM Memory: 512MB
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000
Motherboard: MSI MS-6702 1.0

Hi,

There will be no problem at all since most DVD players today are Multi-System both can play NTSC and PAL ....

I prefer to just leave it in NTSC system because converting can cause quality loss and time consuming as well!
Try contact your recepient if they can play NTSC.

The correct way is:
1. Find any software that converts NTSC to PAL; www.softlandmark.com

2. Author the file into VOB file(DVD format) and then burn it

3. Any hardware will do as long as it's working properly.

4. Conversion needs a lot of CPU power(higher the better) and you can even use Pentium I 200MHZ but it takes centuries.

5. Little amount of RAM will do - it is only used during buffer; not games
