Use vso DIvx to DVD converter
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_encoders/v...
Open up DivxToDVD. Under input,input your PAL avi, wmv, mpeg, OR .VOB (thank you Dallison) file and then change the aspect and standard (circled in red) to force 16:9 and force 29.97
Works 100% of the time with high quality disks. Has played on the dvd players i have tried it on with no visual problems, including the PS2.

This worked great! I just used this process to successfully converted an old movie in PAL DVD format to NTSC. It was simple 2-step process to convert the movie using DivXtoDVD to convert it to my Harddrive and Nero to burn it to a DVD-R. Having never done this before, I appreciated the simplicity - Thanks.

I forgot to mention that I just pointed DivXtoDVD to the first *.VOB file and the software converted everything (*.VOB, *.IFO, *.BUP) to the target folder on my PC.

I'm just a little confused...am I right to assume this guide starts with the file format being DivX? ...and then you convert into NTSC?
If you are starting with a TS folder with all the .VOB files that are in PAL, would you need to convert first to .AVI and then back to NTSC?.
sorry if I'm making this harder than it should be
cheers.

Yes, this guide assumes you are starting with an AVI, wmv, mpeg, etc and then trying to get an NTSC video-files. I have never tried running VOB files through and please try it out see if it works, i think it probably would.

I did not have a *.AVI file. This process worked converting *.VOB files from PAL to NTSC for me (see comments above).

I have not tried it, but the software has options to convert either direction.

Just press "force PAL 25" if you want NTSC-PAL conversion. THank you for the comments Dallison, i can now tell people that VOB work perfect as well.

I've tried 2 PAL DVD's so far. As the Source File I select the first VOB of the main movie. For Aspect I have "Force 16:9", and for Standard I have "Force NTSC 29.97 Fps".
This results in VOB files which have been converted to NTSC but I'm not getting the IFO and BUF files as some people seem to be getting. This means I'm not getting sub-titles either.
For those of you who are getting everything (*.VOB, *.IFO, *.BUP), how are you doing it?

DVDBack23,
Thanks for your great walkthrough but I've got one problem. After converting, the audio is fine but the video skips slightly every second or so. Any way to even this out?
Here is what Video Inspector reports for the AVI file before converting:
And do you know if "DivX to DVD Converter" converts XviD? That's what my AVI is. (Maybe that's my problem?)
......Sean

It does convert XviD so that shouldnt be a problem. The playback is jerky on your computer or your standalone DVD player?

Sorry...on my computer. All other videos play normally and the AVI I'm trying to convert plays normally before conversion.

seanmcgu,
Im at somewhat of loss for your dilemna as i have never encountered jerky picture on a dvd i made using VSO. I have done the same movie and had no problems, (perhaps different avis) but all i can say for now, is reinstall your xvid codecs, use the FREEWARE version of VSO if you arent already, and then try using divxtodvd again, without changing the aspect ratio only the Standard to "Force NTSC 29.97".
Hope this helps, if not i will try my best to help you furthur.

Mary13,
On my slow 2.8 intel p4 processor it takes 1 hour 10 minutes for a 2 hour movie.
Seanmcgu,
OK, one last thing and then im out of ideas. Try forcing whatever aspect you havent already, 4:3, 16:9. If that doesnt work im sorry I couldnt have been of more help, but i have never had this problem. :(
Edit: Have you tried playing the .vobs before burning to disk to see if they are jerky?

when you say first vob file, how do i know which one is the first one, or do you mean just point to any of them and it will do it.
also, there's a whole bunch of other files other than vob inside a video_ts folder, is it possible to see a step by step.
sorry but i'm a newbie to this conversion thing

it says "access violation at address 7c911e58 in module 'ntdll.dll'. read of address 00000000" when I try to convert my PAL .vobs to NTSC form exactly as was posted in the initial thread. What the heck does that mean?

to add to my previous message, what I'm trying to do -- I downloaded a DVD in PAL format, and have an American PC that I got from Dell. The .VOB's do not work to burn to CDs. Could that be why? Would I need to convert them to a NTSC type .VOB for them to burn correctly?
