Converting NTSC to PAL???
I have to convert an NTSC DVD to PAL at work. I have MAC the Ripper and DVD Studio Pro. Is there any way I can convert NTSC to PAL with those programs? If so, how would I go about it. If not, what programs would I need and what would I have to do? Thanks to anyone who responds to this question.

It sounds like you have a means to rip the content and re-author a new PAL DVD, but you still need to transcode the NTSC video file into PAL. Is it safe to assume you have Compressor?

Once you rip all the content video and menu, they need to be converted to PAL with something like Compressor. This is not an easy process to get right and unless you have PAL equipment to test it on you are flying blind.
What Bouke is saying that most people are not converting NTSC DVDs to PAL for export, NTSC play just fine in PAL countries since there equipment can handle them nicely.
If you have to do it read through that frame control section of the Compressor manual. But somewhere some how you need to proof the PAL to make sure you like that conversion.

Thank you for your response. I do have a PAL player at my office. How do I go about in compressor converting the files to PAL?

Michael,
I’ll tell you just once more:
DO NOT DO THIS.
You have NO idea what you are doing, and you are too lazy to go onto the internets where there is a zillion amount of sites that could help you.SO:
WHATEVER you are coming up with now WILL SUCK BIG TIME.and now i’ll unsub from this thread and go to sleep.

Thank you for your thorough assessment. I’ve searched numerous sites and can find how to convert PAL to NTSC, but not vice versa. Goodnight.

There is 2 ways for NTSC->PAL conversion
1st – S&W transcoders (i don’t know what you can get…)
2st – software:
2.1 – interpolation
2.2 – speed up – this is only one right way if you have NTSC progressive (23.976) with 3:2 pulldown. You can remove unnecessary fields, after this you can speed up your video (change frame rate) and audio (resample/time-strech) -
