Convert PAL to NTSC

[tonemgub]

How can I convert a PAL audio to NTSC without using besweet? I dont see an option for it in HeadAC3he.

goldwave, sound forge , cool edit , vegas, etc .... all can do it also .....

if you mean wav files that is ...

if you mean ac3 files ... you can do it directly in vegas (now)

why not use besweet ?

Because every MP2 I made with besweet can't be muxed properly.

I used IFO EDIT and change all the IFO's in the Video_ts folder to referrence NTSC in both menu and film info. You must change ALL lines that have PAL to NTSC or it will not work. I have done this to several films to test on about a 8 different DVD player barnds with 100% success. I am aware some do not believe this to be a good conversion, and not consistant, but it beats a 22hour re-encode with Vegas 6. There is sometimes a slight green to it. Good luck.

he asked about audio

[tonemgub]

I dont see a frame rate change option in goldwave

[BJ_M]

it is the same as stretch , keep pitch

you just have to determine how much - which is easy

I didnt think about it before but I noticed I could use besweet to convert pal wav to ntsc wav then use headac3he to encode to mp2. Thanks anyway.

I get both the audio AND video in one shot with ifo edit. I do not have to do anything else if the audio is in DD 5.1 or PCM. I do, however, use Decryptor to demux both audio and video streams and import in Vegas for re-encoding for sources with sync issues and undesireable/workable formats. Never had a problem with it.
