    Any good encoder.
    Canopus Procoder, Mainconcept, CCE, tmpgenc...
    If you find those confusing, try VSO divX to DVD (which also does PAL-NTSC mpg's).

    First, that guide is full of old, misleading info, because it's based on SVCD.
    There are much simpler ways.
    Copied from the 8 page "PAL to NTSC" thread:
    Take the PAL video, load into TMPGEnc.
    Select the NTSC template, then on the settings tab, change the framerate back to 25fps PAL. Encode to elementary streams.
    This generates an NTSC aspect (720x480) video at 25fps.
    Good for nothing really, but it will play on the computer, AND it will probably play in most standalones.
    For compliance, we need the header of the mpg to be NTSC as well, thus fooling the player slightly.
    Get DGPulldown. Load the m2v you just made in TMPGEnc. Select the 25 -> 29.97 button, and convert it.
    Load the mp2 audio and dgpulldown.m2v into your authoring program.
    For better compliance, transcode the mp2 into AC3, then author.

    That sounds like a really good way to convert my pal to ntsc, but fortunatly just after i posted this i read a user comment on page 4 of http://www.videohelp.com/forum/userguides/166237.php by uketena and justme7 and my audio problem was fixed by loading besweet and clicking toolame above mp2 in besweet and that changed the codec to mp2enc which was accepted by tmpgenc when i simple mutliplexed it. i then played the final movie of it in ntsc and worked fine..audio in sync except in a few parts by a fraction of a second. i recomend doing what i just did if u are needing help in converting pal svcd into ntsc svcd. To create a dvd from this, i simply loaded in dvdlab and compacted it into a ntsc dvd with menues and transitions and all, but didnt burn it yet...so i will get back to this when i am done with that...but thanks rebootjim for the input, much appreciated
