Re: PAL to NTSC

2012-03-21 Thread Stephen Chape 
I have not tried this Severin,
but if you can import into iMovie then I am sure there is an option in iDVD to 
burn as either PAL or NTSC.

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?

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

2012-03-20 Thread Ronda Brown 
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. 

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: PAL to NTSC

2012-03-20 Thread Neil Houghton 
Hi Severin,

I would have thought Handbrake could do that



Their guide mentions PAL vs NTSC:



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:

 

Good luck,


Cheers
