Not sure if this is correct place for this but here goes.
I started with a HD DVD (Iam pretty sure, dont have it anymore to check). It basically had a slideshow of photos on it.
I copied it using 2 standalone dvd players and gave original back to owner.
The copy shows like this in AnyDVD (dont know any other way of seeing disc properties, although I am sure there are loads)
_____________________________________________________________________
Summary for drive D: (AnyDVD 6.1.9.3)
PIONEER DVD RWDVR-109 1.17 05/02/03PIONEER
Drive (Hardware) Region: 2
Media is a DVD.
Booktype: dvd+rw (version 2), Layers: 1
Total size: 2295104 sectors (4482 MBytes)
Video DVD (or CD) label: DVD_VR
Media is not CSS protected.
Video Standard: PAL
Media is region free.
RCE protection not found.
Structural copy protection not found.
Autorun not found on Video DVD.
Bad sector protection not found.
Emulating RPC-2 drive with region 2!
_____________________________________________________________________
Then I tried converting it to use in the USA as my parents want to show it when over there on holidays. I used Digital Media Converter 2.7. I used the settings to convert to MPEG2 DVD NTSC. I am in Ireland.
Now when I put this converted DVD into my standalone DVD player it plays. When I put it in my drive on my computer it doesn't. Computer doesn't see that there is media on DVD, it seems. It asks do I want to burn a cd, make an audio cd etc etc. Dont know why it says CD as its a Verbatim DVDRW.
AnyDVD doesn't show any info either. It says no DVD in computer.
Anyone know why it plays in my standalone and not in computer. What I really want to know is how do I know it will play in standalone dvd player in the US if I can't get any info on the media that is on the disc.

The first (PAL) copy, what type of files and file layout has it?
A DVD has a 'VIDEO_TS folder' with .VOB .IFO and .BUP files.

I thought the VIDEO_RM folder was something that Philips recorders put on a DVD, but wasn't strictly necessary.
Try loading the PAL file(s) 'VTS_01_1.VOB' 'VTS_01_2.VOB' etc, into VSODivX.
Set the standard for North America (NTSC).
It should output a standard DVD folder.
Burn the folder with ImgBurn, it should play and be readable on the PC.
http://dl.afterdawn.com/vsoDivxToDVD_setup_v0.5.2b.exe
Import the file(s) (AVI, WMV,MPEG, VOB)
Output (standard DVD file format) to a folder on the HDD.
Set 'Aspect' to 4:3 (if you have a regular tv)
Set 'Standard' to NTSC (if you live in North America)
Burn dvd with 'ImgBurn'
http://www.imgburn.com/
Run ImgBurn
Click 'Mode' > 'Build'
Click 'Output' > 'Device'
Click 'File' > 'Browse for Folder', highlight on the 'VIDEO_TS' folder, > 'OK'
Set burning speed to 4x and click the green write button.

The folder and files should be visible with Explorer and a media player like 'VLC' should open the the folder and play it.
