How Can I Convert a Pal DVD (Vob files) to Ntsc

[cannew]

I have several Pal dvd's which I would like to make copies but as Ntsc.

How do I get the vob dvd files into SVCD2DVD] so I can convert them to Ntsc?

[ChrissyBoy]

use vob2mpg from svcd2dvd.com. Point it at your VIDEO_TS folder on your HD and it will create mpegs from your VOBs. Then use SVCD2DVD as normal on those mpegs.

I downloaded the svcd2dvdmpg file and when I tried to install I get the message that the Program is Already installed. When I go to Add\Remove I don't see the program listed. I do have svcd2dvd and svcd2dvd v2 listed.

Is there some other name it's listed as?

[ChrissyBoy]

what are you trying to install? VOB2MPG?

[cannew]

The file was svcd2dvdmpg. Is there a file VOB2MPG? If I missed it I'll look again.

[cannew]

Found the VOB2MPG. Thanks I'm excited to try it.

[cannew]

Wow I'm really impressed. If you knew the different programs and processes I've tried and none of which worked. Your's was simple and fast.

I did get two errors:

1- An unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue.... "79068" is not a valid value for 'value'. 'value' should be between 'minimum' and 'maximum''.

2- Same but '103044' is not a valid value.

What is the tab Fix PTS? Am I to run this if I get the errors?

Even with the errors, I went on to create the Ntsc dvd and it worked fine.

Thanks Again

Just another item:

If I move the Fixed mpg files into SVCD2DVD Assets and run Quick DVD I get the following error:

Type: System.NullReferenceException

Source: SVCD2DVD

Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

InnerException:

That is something to do with cacluating the audio overhead. What does it say for durtation and audio in the asset window?

[cannew]

During the Author, the log says Leaving audio source alone.

[ChrissyBoy]

What do you get for the following:

[cannew]

Ok, you'll have to explain how I get the screen.

Ran Demultiplex & resample audio with the following result:

VTS_02.MPG, 1.34GB, mpeg2video 720x576 PAL, ac3 48KHz 192Kbps,

[Jikchung]

That screen (information) is part of the assets display at the bottom of the SVCD2DVD window.

[cannew]

I'll have to get the info later as I'm currently converting another dvd. I'll get back to you.

Thanks

[cannew]

The one I just completed reads the same as the statement above:

1.43GB, mpeg2video 720x576 PAL, ac3 48KHz 192Kbbps

[Jikchung]

What is the duration (how long is the play time) of the file?

[cannew]

Total play time off the dvd is 155 min. There are 3 segments 2653mb each
