    Help! I've ripped a Region 2 PAL DVD to my HD w/ DVD Decrypter - I have a large .iso file that I can play fine on my PC (after using Daemon Tools). I also separately ripped the DVD to several .vob files. After many hours of research, I am unable to convert either the .iso or the .vob files to NTSC format and burn them to a DVD-R so I can play it on my home audio system. Many sites have recommended TMPGEnc, which I have, but the program will not recognize the files to convert them (wrong format, or something like that). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, i just converted a pal to ntsc. It's been a while, but here's what i remembered. I used decrypter to get the vob's and ifo from the dvd. I then ran the vobs through DVD2AVI and got a .d2v file and an audio file (i think .wav) which then can be loaded into tmpenc for encoding into ntsc. After setting to what you want (quality and space etc) I ran it. Depending on how you run it, it can go from 6 hours to 22 hours. Make sure you save as elementary streams (m2v and an audio; mp2 or wav depending on how you do it). Then author and burn and you should be all set. Also, make sure that your d2v file and vobs are in the same directory.

    hope this helps
