Pal to NTSC

#1

Long story short (well short as possible!)

I need to transfer a DVD in Pal Region 2 to be watchable in Japan - Region 2 NTSC?
I asked in the Any DVD section and it was suggested I bought another player as it couldn’t be done very well with software.

I’ve hunted and searched and now have DVDx which transferred it to AVI and a 15 day trial of Blaze Media Pro to convert it to NTSC.

My current problem is not quality (it’s great) but the fact that the original was made up of 4 different VOB files, which resulted in 4 AVI’s and then 4 NTSC MPEG2’s for the new DVD, BUT every copy I attempt only does the first section and ends missing the next 3!!

I tried Nero last night, and did a slow recode overnight, but although all 4 were there it’s done the same and only copied the first.

Sorry it’s so long - any thoughts?? Any program that could help?? Or any way of joining them up for one file to copy to DVD??

Thanks,

Thanks for the very speedy reply.

I’ve read through the relevant pages but it seems really complicated for somebody of my really limited ability :o

You’ve no idea how long it’s taken me to get to the point of having 4 MPEG2 files sitting on my hard drive in NTSC (or at least I think they are :rolleyes: )

Is there anything really simple that will just join them together and burn them to a DVD.

I have downloaded RAD Video Tools, Any DVD, Clone DVD2, DVD Shrink, DVDx, Nero etc., if only I knew how to use them all properly!

There must be something simpler out there… help please :confused:
