Can I use DVD Decrypter to rip the original PAL DVD to my HDD as you suggested? And if so are there any special options I should select? I recall many threads about using the Region Patch option to change the Region of the already ripped files, can I do this?
In fact this is what I did:
I used DVD Decrypter to rip the original PAL DVD to my hard drive
I used the File Mode
I selected all options under Settings>File Mode (i.e. Ignore Unreferenced VTS Sets; Remove: IFO Structure Protection, IFO RC Protection, IFO RCE Protection, IFO PUOs, VOB PUOs, Patch M2V Timecode)
When the files where finished ripping
I used the Tools>IFO>Region Information tool to check for the Region of the ripped files and it said:
IFO is Region: 1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8
RCE PRotection: No
But just to be on the safe side, I used the Tools>IFO>Region Patch option to change the Region from Region-free to Region 1. Beacause I heard that some DVD players don't recognize region-free dvds. Any, when I selected Region 1, I was prompted to select where the .IFO and .BUP files were. So I selected the folder where I ripped the files to and patched each file (why aren't the .VOB files patched?)
I used the Tools>IFO>Region Information to double check that each files was patched to Region 1 and they were
So now I have the folder with the ripped and patched files.
Is it safe to say that these files are now not encrypted with PAL format? and if this is so, then what format are they in? How then when I am burning to a DVD-R do I specify that it should be done in NTSC format? What other conversion programs besides Nero Vision Express can be used?
