I recently traded for some PAL dvd's, not knowing that most US DVD players won't play them. I hacked 2 of my 3 DVD players to make them region free (& play the PAL discs), but my 3rd one is a SONY (which is a real pain to hack to region-free).
Anyway, does anyone know of any programs to convert a full PAL DVD-5 to a NTSC DVD-5, the quickest & easiest way possible?

are you sure?
I KNOW that DVDdecrypter does not convert PAL to NTSC (this requires a full re-encoding of the DVD).
I don't have clone DVD, but are you sure it does this conversion? (This is not the same as removing region codes, copy-protection, etc)

Thanks, but PAL is not the same thing as region encoding. The discs ARE decrypted and also region-free.
Some North American DVD players do not have PAL playing capability (only NTSC, which is Northamerican standard).
Some DVD players are hackable, and IF they are cabable of playing PAL discs, they then can.
However, my Sony DVD players are not PAL compatable, so I need to change the disc format (re-encode to NTSC)
Thanks, though!
Nero can do but you will lost the main menu,
or you can pick a cheap dvd player that will play both format
NTSC and PAL.
