    There is a European version of Shakespears Twelfth Night with Helena Bonham Carter that I just love. It is utterly unavailable in the U.S. I have purchased the DVD in the UK (knowing that it was in PAL format).
    Is there a way to convert it to an NTSC DVD so it will play on my DVD player in the U.S.

    Feel free to get technical, I've been burning for several years.

    Thanks-in-advance,

    I am just adding to this string because I am in the exact same situation. I have a movie from China that I want to covert to NTSC as well. I just got a copy of Adobe Premiere, haven't toyed with the software yet....

    Yes you can. It's not straightforward though.

    see here www.vcdhelp.com for details on how to do it.
