Hello to Everyone, how do I patch a comercial DVD or a DVD made from DVD-lab PRO 2 from PAL to NTSC or vice versa ?

Open your DVD in . For each IFO, go to VTSI_MAT and double click offset 0x0200 and change it to NTSC. Save. Note: In all likelihood, this will not work, as it does not represent a true conversion to NTSC. Regards

To really convert the DVD from one format to another, have a look at

Is there a relatively simple methodology that can be applied by using VOBBlanker, for successful conversion, including the existing menu?

No. For true conversion, you have to resize the frame, adjust the frame rate, and re-encode. Then either apply the pulldown method or adjust the audio time/pitch. DVD-RB could potentially automate the process. Hopefully jdobbs will implement PAL -> NTSC sometime in the future.

Certainly has nothing to do with framerate conversions. Really easiest to to get a player that plays PAL. Regards

All that does is patch the IFOs. It does nothing to change the actual framerates and resolutions in the VOBs. This is the equivalent of the "patch method", which is flaky at best (see above). For easy framerate conversions, use Procoder 2, if you have it. Regards

I have a question about PAL/NTSC conversion, too: I have the R1 (NTSC) and R2 (PAL) versions of the same movie, but with different audio languages. I would like to take one of the audio streams from the R1 DVD and add it to the R2 DVD. Are DVD audio streams different depending on the frame rates? In other words are they controlled by time codes or by frames? Would it be enough simply to demux the DVDs and take the demuxed audio file I want from the R1 DVD and mux it with the stuff from the R2 DVD? Or do I need to convert the audio from NTSC to PAL frame rates, as I fear? If conversion is needed, do I best convert the whole R1 NTSC DVD to PAL and demux the audio from the converted DVD? Or would it be to process the demuxed audio stream from the original R1 NTSC DVD etc.?

Yes, Besweet does this fine. Regards
