I recently got a hold of a PAL encoded DVD that I have already ripped to my hard drive for backup. Thing is I want to change it's encoding to NTSC so the backup will play on my DVD player. The burner software will be Nero. Once I got a program from this site that's purpose was taking single video files and converting them into DVD video. One fault happened in this software and that was some how that software labeled the single plain old normal video file as being copyrighted so Nero wouldn't take the freshly made DVD files. The software and freeware I hope, shouldn't create a false copyright that bugs Nero not to do it's job.

That's a good one. You wouldn't by any chance remember the name of that "false copywrite" creating software, would you?

Anyway, run it through DVD Shrink creating a region free .iso and burn with Nero or Imgburn.
Good Luck.

That was the first idea I considered. The only reason why I haven't ran it though yet is because ..well. I'm used to DVD Shrink prompting me if I want to override a DVD's encoding if the DVD is heavily encoded. The PAL DVD content had no encoding detected when it was analyzed. It's the lack of a prompt that worries me in attempting to use DVD Shrink but I'll take your word and try using it to change the encoding to NTSC.

As for what software made the false copyright. I have deleted it but I believe it was 'Divx to DVD'. The thing looked very useful and I think it even converted the video in real time ..but what it did :(.

When i began working with DVD processing software I made many mistakes like everyone else does and ended up losing the original files for good. Then I started copyimg the original file to a "working folder" to cover my butt. If I goofed up I could start over from scratch again and again until I got the process down pat. Of course that depends on your free harddrive space but with newer machines that shouldn't be an issue. When you finally get the DVD successfully burned to your liking just delete all unnecessary files.

Tip: DVD projects have a nasty habit of fragmenting your harddrive. After every project I run CCleaner and Auslogics Disk Defrag to tidy things up. It only takes a few minutes. It's really not necessary every time but it's easy to forget and that's the way I operate.

I'm very used to ripping and am well aware of what it can do to a hard drive but I guess others could use your advice.

Using DVD Shrink doesn't work but I found one way that does only it takes out your DVD menu. Movie Edit Pro can read .VOB files and it can tailor video to very specific settings.

Little guide here:

. Open the folder you've stored the ripped DVD's files in.

. Load in the .VOB files in what you know is the correct order of relevant video information.

. Save under .mpeg2 and have a frame rate around 29.97 or higher. Usually the rate frame listed can only go as high as 30.00.

(25.00 and lower is standard for PAL how this software sees it)

. Load the mpeg or mpegs depending on how you decided to save this into Nero under the guideline program for it to 'Make your own DVD'.
