To add a little, if it is an img file, and is indeed PAL, then you've got to do two things. Like Rotary says, you've got to "extract" the files -- probably a VIDEO_TS folder with VOB files in it -- from the image. Since they are RAR files, if you already have Winrar, once you have the img file extracted from the RAR files, open the img file up in Winrar! Winrar can extract the contents of img files.
Once you have the VIDEO_TS and VOB files extracted, you'll have to convert them from PAL to NTSC. The easiest way I know of to do this is with NeroVision Express. I've converted several PAL movies to NTSC with it. The process is slow -- it will take 3 hours or so, typically, to transcode from PAL to NTSC. And you'll lose things, if they exist, in the PAL -- like any original menus, subtitles, etc. But you can get a basic, viewable movie transcoded this way.
Quote: Ok, i downloaded a movie that i'm almost positive is PAL beucase right in the .nfo it says
Format: [X] PAL [ ] NTSC
This sucks couse i spent 2 days downloading it and have no idea if i can even play it. So 2 questions....
Well, if if said it was PAL in the .nfo, then you were forewarned, and shouldn't have downloaded it if you were prepared to go through the hassle of converting it. Or did you not read the .nfo until after you downloaded it?
