Converting Pal To Ntsc

[MasterSandman II]

Do any of you know how to do this? Can you lead me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

ideally its not recommended due to the quality loss. If you can't play PAL dvds, there is a way to modify one or files to trick it into believing its NTSC and plays w/out any problems.

or buy a dvd player that plays both formats .Many players do nowadays, even budget priced players.

yes all standalone DVD players or PC player can read PAL/NTSC but when you need to put togheter 2 dif formats that is the problem... you cant put them in the same DVD, so you need to convert it

A DVD is either PAL or NTSC, so you have to convert either one of the files to the other videoformat. I tried it with Ulead and ProCoder one or two times, but the quality loss is considerable (and therefor converting is not recommened) and you seem to get black area's on the sides since the reolution of both systems is different too and the video has a part cut of or black area's added on the sides where extra pixels have to be added to comply with the videosystem

I never knew about means to "trick" the DVD player into believing a DVD is PLA in full when it actually has PAL and NTSC files on it

Well, I tried Ulead DVD Workshop 2 many times I cannot see any quality loss when converting. But I must admit - it is not THAT simple, you need try out which settings are the best.
