I have found I can reliably convert VOB files to to a Microsoft DV AVI codec using Nerovision 4 or NeroVision Express 3. The problem is that the files are always converted to a 720x576 25fps PAL format instead of NTSC 720x480 29.97fps. This happens even when I have set the default output to NTSC and even when NeroVision asks me if I wish to change my output to NTSC instead of PAL [which I never asked for in the first place].
I have no other problem with using the Miscrosoft DV codec in other programs [Premiere, etc.], rendering in the proper NTSC format, so it's not as if there is a problem with the codec itself.
This is driving me crazy, I cannot find how to fix this problem. I couldn't find an answer anywhere within the forum and Nero support doesn't return my inquiries.
Any help to offer?
Thanks,

Hi pfflamingo,
Welcome to the forums.
Are the VOBs PAL or NTSC? I don't know if this would have an effect...
You could always try a different tool:
1) Load the VOB into VirtualDubMod (this variant works with MPEGs).
2) Video -> Compression: Choose your DV AVI Codec. You may need to download and install the Panasonic DV Codec (it's free and known to work with VirtualDubMod and other variants).
3) Save the VOB as DV AVI.
Good luck...There is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England: Telstra Stadium, Sydney, 22/11/2003.

daamon, thanks for your notes.
The VOBS are all NTSC. It is weird that NeroVision offers NTSC output as a default selectable option, but simply won't render the video in anything but PAL.
I have tried using the Panasonic DV codec in VirtualDub, and it works, however Adobe Premiere will not recognize the Panasonic codec [I think because it is not a VFW codec]. I want to do my final editing in Premiere with the DV codec.
For the record, I can open the PAL-formatted DV files and edit them fine in Premeire, but the conversion back to NTSC when doing my final render is problematic, as you would expect when re-encoding to NTSC from a PAL source.
If only NeroVision would convert to the NTSC format the way it's suppossed to...!

DV is, for the most part, DV. If you save it using the Panasonic DV codec, Premiere will open it using it's own (ir the MS DV codec). I have used the panasonic DV codec to create material that I then open in Vegas, which uses the Sony DV codec.
