would I need to convert NTSC TO PAL ? very confused !

[jamieuk23]

Hi >> ok I will try not to make this sound to complicated.

Wot I want to do is make my own DVD video with 6 of mike tysons fights on a single DVD

I have managed to cutt out all the fights I want using the authoring option on dvd shrink. of all the fight DVD`s I have of mike Tyson

I am now left with 6 folders

tyson fight 1
tyson fight 2
tyson fight 3
tyson fight 4
tyson fight 5
tyson fight 6

in each folders is 1 of the fights I want.

after doing some reading around >> i was recomended a programe called TMPGEncDVDAuthor, as I wanted to put all these fights on a single dvd, with a nivce fancy menu which would allow mw to jump to any fight I wanted.

all seemed to be going good .>> untill I noticed that I was getting a error report when adding a few of the fight folders

the error I was getting was because a few of the fight folders were in NTSC format >> and the rest in PAL.

It was saying soemthing aboout it cant have 2 diffrent formats on the 1 dvd.

will I have to re-encode all the NTSC fight folders to pal so there is no conflict. ?

or as most TV`s in the world support both formats PAL and NTSC > is there another programe out there that will allow me to add both PAL and Ntsc on the same DVD >>> with out getting any of these errors

thanks to any 1 who can help me out !!

"is there another programe out there that will allow me to add both PAL and Ntsc on the same DVD"

As far as I know, you can't "mix and match" PAL and NTSC formats on one DVD...

(Under TMPGEnc DVD Author, did you try placing the NTSC files on one track and then using "Add new track" for the PAL files?)

.

yer mate I did that and it woldnt work.

looks like I will need ro rein-code Ntsc to pal then hopefully TMPGEnc DVD Author will allow me to make a single dvd with menus.

any link to a decent guid mate I have looked at so many but all fo them are for divx xvid files.

thanks for your help !!

It's an extremely time consuming and less than perfect set of procedures.

1) Why don't you simply make TWO DVDs?

2) How did you wind up with SOME PAL and SOME NTSC, if you're in the UK?
