NTSC To Pal

[canadateck]

ok, would this work, rip the files to hd. author them as they are and burn on a new disc. that would elimanate the region problems yes?

What is it a region probelm?Or PAL to NTSC?
Man this Thread is going NOwhere FAST....

Fulcilives and Darth Booker - Play nice.

I am very interested in a PAL to NSTC conversion. I know I could always feed the vob to TmpgEnc via VirtualDubMod. But I would loose the menus.

the dvd player downstairs wil play ntsc dvds but no region 1, it will play ntsc format on a region free disc, sorry, i explain myself daft but i hope somone understand that

[canadateck]

So make it region free.

I *still* can't understand you ...

So there's no need to do a PAL/NTSC conversion then ? If not, run the DVD through DVDShrink and either make it region-free or specify the region that you're in.

my house is more expensive than your whole street.

No disrespect, but Leeds is a shit-hole. Even the football team is worth less than a pirate VCD

Possibly, but you would have to transcode the disks if they were more than the size of a DVDR. If it works and you make a habit of it, you could probably buy a new DVD player for the time and effors it takes to rip, transcode and burn and handful of disks.

leeds WILL be back in the premier league :P

[Chief Wiggum]

Yeah, but i'll probably have a long grey beard by then. Aren't they 16th in the coca-cola "championship"or something like that.

There are some nice places to live in Leeds. You've missed out on the delights of Little London or the joys of Chapel Town

[midnightsun]

if all you needed was a region-free disc why on earth did you go on about how you would do a ntsc->pal conversion??

grab dvd decrypter, remove region lock, iso read, iso write. you're done. 20 minutes at worst.

I still would like an easy PAL to NSTC conversion that would maintain the menus (if possible)....

Cheers and Merry Christmas

For all practical purposes, it's not possible. Every frame of video would have to be re-encoded, all the subpictures (subtitles & button graphics etc), all the audio adjusted, buttons moved, etc ... a monumental task to do manually; I can't even imagine trying to make it automatic.

[JamieBecks23]

i would like to apologize to that dude. sorry for all the lip man

The latest version of NuMenu4u does just this, but I think it requires Scenarist so obviously most people couldn't use it.

The hard part is the reauthoring stage, getting all the assets to conform to the PAL specifications is trivial. NuMenu already handles the reauthoring effectively so its just a matter of adding a few extra steps to make it PAL compliant which it apparantly does (ie: resample audio, batch re-encode subpictures, add 96 pixels to all Y values for button overlay sizes, lower their height by I guess 45 pixels, and adjust time stamps for subpictures.)

From the DVDSanta site, they claim it can convert from PAL to NSTC. Don't know about vice versa.

From their website:

No Experience Or Computer Skills Necessary!

Sounds like using a mouse or keyboard aren't pre-requisites either

[kenmo]

Anyone try the DVDSanta route ?

rip to hdd
dvd2avi it (demuxing audio to wav)
load dvd2avi file in virtual dub
resize to 720 x 576
frame serve to tmpgenc
in tmgpenc , from options select inverse telecline, and select do not frame rate conversion
set the remaining parameters on video tab to pal video
encode
use besweet (23.976->25fps template) to convert audio to mp2 format
author dvd
voila

OR USE A NLE SUCH AS VEGAS TO DO A NICE LONG JOB OF IT.

for each hour of my video, takes 45 minutes of time.

no simple for ntsc -> pal



hence buy 'xtra' dvd 'playa'

tee hee hee
