Need a quick way to make PAL DVD from NTSC DVD

[tendancer2000]

I have a DVD that I authored from 8mm films for a friend who now wants to send it to a friend who lives in PAL-land. Since I have the original AVIs I could just re-encode them as PAL MPEGs and make a PAL DVD but since there are over 30 films I am hoping someone can suggest a quicker way - anyone?

In case it matters, I'm using DVDLab for authoring, TMPGEnc for encoding.

Thanks!

Quickest way: send an NTSC DVD to the guy who lives in PAL-land.
Nearly all PAL TVs and DVD players can play NTSC just fine.

I know this is true in England (my home country) but these are for South Africa and Australia. Guess I will ask my friend to ask his friends before I expend any effort.

Thanks for the suggestion

You can try with a cheapo DVD player set the Player Menu to PAL TV on the player and then USE RCA connections record it with a PAL capable DVD recorder. The Player can convert NTSC signal to PAL signal if you set the Player with PAL TV. Of course, you must have a PAL TV or Multi-system TV to see if your PAL signal is OK with the DVD player or recorder outputs.
