Im sorry for asking anoother pal-ntsc question but after searching for 30mins I couldnt find anything releating to my problem. Ive have a couple pal dvds that i really want to get off of my hard drive and enjoy on my tv but thanks to this stupid 50/60 standard barrier that pal/ntsc has i have been having a hell of a time figuring out how to get good ntsc conversions out of them. I have converted all of the movie parts to ntsc and they look very close to the originals using these avs commands
Video = mpeg2source("D:\ENT1X01\1x01.d2v")
Audio = WAVSource("D:\ENT1X01\reencaudio.wav")
AudioDub(Video,Audio)
AssumeFPS(23.976,sync_audio=true)
AssumeFrameBased
CropBottom(2)
LanczosResize(704,480)
Then reenc video with cce, then pulldown <s> <t> -prog_frames p, and reenc the wav audio with tmpgenc external toolame and it comes out a perfect match. Now its the menus that are giving me hell. Is there an easier way to make these existing pal menus work on ntsc 60hz without having to completely reauthor them?

if they were just still images... but them again if they were you wouldn't be here asking.
but if you converted the vobs then you would be in truble since the start sectors wouldn't match.
