The DVD is a television series, though. Wouldn't I theoretically need every IFO in order to load all the DVD information?
Have you tried it already? Like I said, if you drop the VIDEO_TS.IFO ConvertXtoDVD will knowingly load the entire movie; this file contains all the information and data structures of the entire movie. Do this and tell me if its been ingested by ConvertXtoDVD. I want to continue making advancements. The only way to achieve this is by trial and error.
Certainly that is the way, but I'm lost since there is no single .IFO labeled Video_TS. There is the Video_TS folder, but I am unable to drag and drop it into ConvertX. I have, however, tried adding all the .IFO files, and still no success in the conversion.
I haven't tried a second time, I am currently doing that. The first time, they were but as I said CloneDVD2 still stated they were in the PAL format.

This beta version of ConvertXtoDVD is doomed to failure. I actually did try converting NTSC to PAL, but the cause outcome was still NTSC. Let's venture on to a different program which hopefully will generate the result we're looking for. Download the freeware DVD Flick. Pick out individual episodes (VOBs), and drop them into DVD Flick. Don't forget to set NTSC as the desired output video standard. For additional directions, a guide can be found here .
I tried DVD Flick once before, actually; DVD files aren't supported, so I converted them to AVI. Not only did I wind up losing my bonus features, but my DVD episodes didn't have any audio. Also, your guide link merely took me to a screenshot.
I keep getting this message "A field order transition was detected. You may need to use the Fix D2V tool to repair this stream. Refer to the DGIndex Users Manual for details." Should I let it go or do something else? UPDATE: I have no audio, only video
Do I do this now or when everything is all done? I played one file just fine; the second file plays sound up until the opening credits when it goes silent.
Actually, I found there are two versions of the show on the DVD; on is video with audio and the other is video without...weird. But I've run into errors with two DVD files; one says it's too small for AGK to process, and the other keeps giving me a bad INDEX file.
Could you provide a screenshot of the DVD files? At this point, you've not used DVDFab Platinum yet have you?
