Converting PAL DVD to NTSC without ripping and reencoding

[drfsupercenter]

Hey I was just wondering if this would work. You use Procoder to convert to NTSC. However the Wizard only does one VOB set. So you do the VIDEO_TS then VTS_01 and so on, each in seperate folders. Then you merge them to one folder but leave all the IFO and BUP files behind. Next you take the original disc and transfer those IFO and BUP files to that folder. You then use IFOEdit to tell it that it is NTSC, rather than PAL. And if necessary use PgcEdit to fix the files so they link together. Will this work?

Not really -= you;'d need to make new IFOs for each VTS using IfoEdit's Create IFO function.

Easiest is to do your VTSs and simply use PgcEdit to import each titleset.

Start with a new DVD (File - New DVD), then, import VMG (if you have a VIDEO_TS.VOB), then import VTST Titles (right click, select VTS_01 and move VOBs). Do this for each titleset and save DVD. That's it, all done.

You may need to check stream definitions in domain stream attributes, but I don't think so.

What do I convert with though? Procoder? I would just use PgcEdit to link the stuff together like as in copying and pasting the data from the old commands?

I would use Procoder 2 - since it is totally compliant.

I will try it.
