    Anyone know of one tool to convert PAL DVD to NTSC DVD?

    I use Nero and it works great for most things - but my workaround for this so far has been:

    1) Use ISO buster and extract VOB's to a folder
    2) Use Nero Express to re-burn VOB's to a new DVD with option output to NTSC

    I of course lose all the menu's and such and have to do 2 steps - anyone else know of an easier way?

    i just did this last week and had some trouble. If I remember correctly i ripped all files to (from the dvd) with decryptor and then converted with nero to a dvd. Seriously took forever but came out excellent.

    Funny you mentioned Decryptor - someone else pointed out I could use that and burn straight to ISO then burn - w/o using Nero.

    Well, I never figured out out to switch from pal to ntsc with decryptor. I ripped the entire file and switched regions with nero.

    Honestly, I didnt need to try it. But I would assume if you use file mode in decryptor and have all items highlighted there shouldnt be a problem

    What I couldn't find in DVDDecrypter though was a setting to change it to NTSC - or does it do that automatically if I have my region set correctly?

    I've done it by going into Nero Vision to create a DVD movie. There is an option to import so I import from the PAL DVD. There it rips it to it's own digital format on the hd. After that, treat it like any other video file you want to make a DVD out of. But you lose all the menues, though. Haven't tried it with movies requiring subtitles yet, though.
