Well just wandering if there is a quick way of converting a ntsc dvd to pal?. Not just dvd format but ntsc iso images to if possable.

Simply put 1 player plays the lot and annoyingly the other does'nt.

not worth the trouble converting them mate they always end up jumpy


almost all players can play both as long as you make a region free DVD.

copyxtodvd will try to convert them (i think) but when i set it up i always choose my DVD c
an play both so it just converts it as is and to be honest i am yet to find a player that wont play them.


i did have a go a converting them but the differences in frame rates would also show as jittery film,
i soon worked out it was pointless as they played without anyway


might be the DVD player just don't like the media your using

Ah, I'd forgot the jumpy frame issue after converting, recall having that not to long ago myself lol.

Never checked but almost certainly it will be unlockable via remote hack or such like near all dvd players these days. Think I'm looking to much at converting films to realise a player hack would be a far better solution and save endless time.
