How can one convert WMV to SECAM?

[fledermaus]

Please forgive a newbie if this question has been asked tons of times before. I have a movie composed out of stills and videos made with my Canon camera in NTSC format that I wish it to send to some people in France to be played as a DVD in Secam format on a stand-a-lone DVD player attached to a TV. I made the movie using Movie Maker, so I have it as a WMV file. I employed the program ConvertXtoDVD to make a NTSC DVD (which works fine), and in the process it created a set of VOB files in NTSC format, so I have these too. I would be grateful for suggestions on how (using reasonably priced software if necessary), I can convert either the WMV file or the VOB files into Secam format and burn this onto a DVD that will work in France.

There is no difference between PAL and SECAM when it comes to DVD. The DVD is component digital YCbCr 720x576 at 25 frames per second. PAL or SECAM is created from that in the player analog output section.

Also most all European DVD players will also play your NTSC formatted DVD. The 720x480, 29.97 fps disk is converted to a pseudo PAL 60 format at the analog composite output that most TV sets will display.

Send them your NTSC DVD and see if they can play it.
