PAL to NTSC

Is there a simple way to convert a DVD in Pal format to NTSC? I suspect not. I have Toast 11 but can find no easy answers. Severin Crisp Assoc Professor R Severin Crisp, FIP, CPhys, FAIP 15 Thomas St, Mount

Hi Severin, I would have thought Handbrake could do that http://handbrake.fr/ http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/12987/handbrake Their guide mentions PAL vs NTSC: https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/FramerateGuide So I would imagine that you just set the conversion parameter to match the NTSC

Wow it must not have been a very long DVD. The last time I converted a DVD from PAL to NTSC (which incidentally was a test I did for you back some time ago) it took a long long time to re-encode. Did the audio convert ok? Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad On 21/03/2012, at 4:09 PM

I have not tried this Severin, but if you can import into iMovie then I am sure there is an option in iDVD to burn as either PAL or NTSC. On 21/03/2012, at 2:20 PM, Severin Crisp wrote: Is there a simple way to convert a DVD in Pal format to NTSC? I suspect not. I have Toast 11 but can
