Converting PAL to NTSC.

[VWRacer]

I have found a print of a movie I have on Laserdisc, but I am too lazy to rip, and do all the goodies necessary to burn to DVD. The movie I have found, Song of the South, is in PAL format. Can it be converted to NTSC so I can watch it on my set? I don't mind buying it, and waiting for delivery, but it will chap my cheeks if I can't watch it.

Thanks,
Racer

Yes, it can be converted to NTSC. But you've stated that you are too lazy to do that. So, um, what is your point?

Be advised that, wherever you've located this, it's a bootleg made from aither a VHS tape or Laserdisc, as Disney has thusfar stated that it will NOT be re-releasing "Song of the South" in the foreseeable future - likely due to the extreme racial overtones and stereotypes.

And, as an additional caution, if your source is "Barclay_Hinson", you'd best have second thoughts about it:

Since the best you can hope to purchase MAY be a conversion from LaserDisc, you might as well do it yourself...

**EDIT** BTW, your LaserDisc (presumably Japanese, with both English and Japanese audio, since this Title was never released in the US on LaserDisc) is probably fairly valuable as a collectible...

Thanks for the feedback. As far as being lazy, I haven't really had the time to invest in learning how to transfer. I have several discs in my LD library that I want to convert. I need to do some more reading on the How To, before I can.

Setarip, I thank you for the warning. I haven't bought this, but it was on Ebay from someone in North Carolina. I think I'll just pass, and do one from the LD. And yes, the LD is from Japan, from Disney, with both Audio tracks, and Japanese subtitles on the songs.

I owe you one,
Racer
