hi people.
problem:
I have an ntsc svcd that won´t play on the DVD player. It does not support ntsc -> pal conversion. (yes i live in europe).
the picture jumps and flickers and no i can't watch it.

questions:
1.
are there any program that let's me convert the ntsc -> pal on the computer before i burn it?

2.
I spoke to some people at the local computer store who thought they were really neat and good. they told me to get a program and convert the svcd to something called AVCD.
i've read there are no such format. just a way to say audio+video on one cd. can't understand why that should solve my problem.
