How to convert a PAL DVD to NTSC?

[GTaudiophile]

Anyone know how to do this?

Legality notwithstanding, rip it to MPG/AVI/whatever and burn it again as a normal video DVD.

There is a program called vob blanker to do this. It's not for the weak of heart though

1. Rip PAL DVD to your hard disk with DVD Decrypter.
2. Used VobBlanker to open the decrypted files on the hard disk.
3. Changed Video Attributes from PAL to NTSC with VobBlanker.
4. Verify video attributes are set to 29FPS
5. Set output for VobBlanker to another directory.
6. Burn result to DVD from output directory with DVD Shrink.

Nero 7 does it automatically for you if you so choose.

I have converted some home videos with Tsunami too for a few people. Tsunami is by Pegasys

I have done it - not an easy process. The ends result may not be perfect. I get a lot of jazz videos from Europe, and now they are PAL on one side and NTSC on the other. The computer (PowerDVD) doesn't care, but the Home entertainment player sure does.

This converter works well, and is not hugely expensive:
