PAL to NTSC
Is there a simple way to convert a DVD in Pal format to NTSC? I suspect not. I have Toast 11 but can find no easy answers.

Re: PAL to NTSC
Hi Severin, I would have thought Handbrake could do that http://handbrake.fr/ http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/12987/handbrake Their guide mentions PAL vs NTSC: https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/FramerateGuide So I would imagine that you just set the conversion parameter to match the NTSC specifications...? Handbrake is free and I have used it to convert downloaded video for iTunes - but I have never had cause to convert between PAL NTSC As I say, it is free so you can just give it a go? I also noticed a Convert PAL to NTSC thread on Apple Support which mentions other options: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9554479#9554479 Good luck, Cheers Neil -- Neil R.

Re: PAL to NTSC
Hi Severin, I did this back in Toast 10, have not tried it in Toast 11. This is how it is supposed to work in Toast 11 (Save as a Disk Image and test before burning a DVD). In Toast 11: 1. The process to transcode PAL to NTSC in Toast (or vice versa) is to set your desired output preference in Toast Preferences. 2. Now choose DVD Video as the format in the Toast Video window. 3. Insert the source DVD or place the VIDEO_TS folder on the Desktop. 4. Click the Video tab in the Toast Media Browser and scroll to DVD. There you'll see the video(s) contained in the source. 5. Drag what you want to the main Toast window. You will see an edit window. If you don't want to make any edits just click okay. 6. Now set up a menu the way you want. 7. When done either choose Save as Disc Image (my preference) or click the Burn Button. If you choose Save as Disc Image you can burn that to DVD using the Image File setting in the Copy window. Toast will ask if you really want to convert the video's format. After that it will transcode the video for a new DVD.

Re: PAL to NTSC
Thanks, Ronni, going to the Export preferences was the clue, I expected to find it as an option somewhere. Works more or less the same inToast 11 and was remarkably quick.

Re: PAL to NTSC
Wow it must not have been a very long DVD. The last time I converted a DVD from PAL to NTSC (which incidentally was a test I did for you back some time ago) it took a long long time to re-encode. Did the audio convert ok?

Can someone remind me as to how I can delete old addresses in mail?

Worth reading email tracker programs
tom samson EMail Tracker Programs -- very interesting and a must read!!! The man that sent this information is a computer tech. He spends a lot of time clearing the junk off computers for people and listens to complaints about speed. All forwards are not bad, just some. Be sure you read the very last paragraph. _ He wrote: By now, I suspect everyone is familiar with snopes.com and/or truthorfiction.com for determining whether information received via email is just that: true/false or fact/fiction. Both are excellent sites. Advice from snopes.com VERY IMPORTANT!! 1) Any time you see an email that says forward this on to '10' (or however many) of your friends, sign this petition, or you'll get bad luck or you'll get good luck or you'll see something funny on your screen after you send it or whatever --- it almost always has an email tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and emails of those folks you forward to. The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of 'active' email addresses to use in SPAM emails or sell to other spammers. Even when you get emails that demand you send the email on if you're not ashamed of God/Jesus --- that is email tracking, and they are playing on our conscience. These people don't care how they get your email addresses - just as long as they get them. Also, emails that talk about a missing child or a child with an incurable disease how would you feel if that was your child --- email tracking. Ignore them and don't participate! 2) Almost all emails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards. All it was, and all any of this type of email is, is a way to get names and 'cookie' tracking information for telemarketers and spammers -- to validate active email accounts for their own profitable purposes. You can do your Friends and Family members a GREAT favor by sending this information to them. You will be providing a service to your friends. And you will be rewarded by not getting thousands of spam emails in the future! Do yourself a favor and STOP adding your name(s) to those types of listing regardless how inviting they might sound! Or make you feel guilty if you don't! It's all about getting email addresses and nothing more. You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause, but you are NOT! Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later and very possibly a virus attached! Plus, we are helping the spammers get rich! Let's not make it easy for them! ALSO: Email petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress or any other organization - i.e. social security, etc. To be acceptable, petitions must have a signed signature and full address of the person signing the petition, so this is a waste of time and you are just helping the email trackers. Tips for Handling Telemarketers .Please read this too (Merelyn) Three Little Words That Work!! (1)The three little words are: 'Hold On, Please...' Saying this, while putting down your phone and walking off (instead of hanging-up immediately) would make each telemarketing call so much more time-consuming that boiler room sales would grind to a halt. Then when you eventually hear the phone company's 'beep-beep-beep' tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task. These three little words will help eliminate telephone soliciting.. (2) Do you ever get those annoying phone calls with no one on the other end? This is a telemarketing technique where a machine makes phone calls and records the time of day when a person answers the phone. This technique is used to determine the best time of day for a 'real' sales person to call back and get someone at home. What you can do after answering, if you notice there is no one there, is to immediately start hitting your # button on the phone, 6 or 7 times as quickly as possible. This confuses the machine that dialed the call, and it kicks your number out of their system. Gosh, what a shame not to have your name in their system any longer!!! (3) Junk Mail Help: When you get 'ads' enclosed with your phone or utility bill, return these 'ads' with your payment. Let the sending companies throw their own junk mail away. When you get those 'pre-approved' letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away the return envelope. Most of these come with postage-paid return envelopes, right? It costs them more than the regular 44 cents postage, 'IF' and when they receive them back. It costs them nothing if you throw them away!

Re: Apple mail
Hi Tom In Mail menu bar go to WindowPrevious Recipients. A new window opens up with a list of all the email addresses you have used. Select the one you no longer want and click Remove From List That should do the trick.

Re: Apple mail
Tom, once you've created a new message, and you see that an old email address has appeared in the 'To' field, place your cursor over the email address, at the right end. You should see a little downward pointing white triangle. Click on the triangle. Select Remove from Previous Recipients List.
