I downloaded a dvd but it is in PAL format......I assume that this will not play on my dvd player. What do I use to convert the file to NTSC?
You cant convert it, its the fromat of the recording. Best bet is to burn it on a -R and ho[pefully you have a DVD Player that supports both formats.. My $50 futureshop player plays everything, PAL and NTSC
You can convert it, but i'd try it on a DVD-RW just to make sure you can fix your mistakes. Not all DVD players will recognize the conversion: http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=221928
you can go into the files of the dvd and change the encoding to ntsc, the play back is a little choppy do the differences in frame rate, for all questions regarding dvd burning, ripping and converting www.doom9.org
