    Im trying to figure out what to do. I converted a movie to video ts/vob. When I play the movie in my dvd player, the picture just scrolls up and down (like the vhold on old tvs). What could be the problem.

    Wrong TV system. You've created a PAL video and try to play it on a NTSC system (or much less likely the other way around).

    Could be the wrong TV system, but what concerns me is how someone from Oklahoma could have gotten his hands on a PAL based video. How did you convert the movie to MPEG2? What settings did you use?

    I dont believe I set the region on my dvd player. Do i need to reinstall the dvd burner set the region? I went into the device manager|properties and to change the region and it will not allow me to set the region. I get the videos from my inlaws over seas.

    Region setting has nothing to do with PAL or NTSC. The resolution of PAL is completely different than NTSC. In North America, most TVs are NTSC format. Most likely, the video you created, was encoded as PAL.

    Is there a way to change the coding to NTSC?

    Yes... by re-encoding. Sorry.

    The differences are different frame rate and different resolution. Changing the res is no problem, but frame rate conversions are always tricky, often leading to audio sync issues.

    I'm assuming that you have a movie that you just encoded to PAL instead of NTSC (you used the wrong brainless Wizard).
