Can i convert a mpg file Pal to NSCT?

[friendtoall]

I have downloaded alot of good music video but they are in Pal format and my dvd here don't support Pal. I want to burn these video to dvd but U.S. don't support Pal. What can I do and can I fix the mpg file to make it better quailty as sound and picture? Don't want all this timely download and great music go to waste. Thank you.
I have search for this but no result.

please read the forum rules (once again)... you're violating one atm

but they are in Pal format and my dvd here don't support Pal. I want to burn these video to dvd but U.S. don't support Pal.
you'd have to change the framerate - > reencode -> loose quality.

What can I do and can I fix the mpg file to make it better quailty as sound and picture?
while reencoding to the new framerate you could apply some filters... generally this wouldn't be worth it... generally imformation lost once cannot be regained... thus you cannot really improve quality anyway... just smooth out the video to see less blocks...

Sorry I will be more careful of what i ask next time and thank you for your kind help. I will reread the rules again.

@friendtoall->Your response here reflects your name well. The forum rules are few and easy to remember. They will get you well set-up and keep you going strong. Stickies at the top of the individual forums include invaluable help also. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

As for you, Mr. killingspree...... if you can hear the applause, take a bow. I doubt that mine are the only hands that are moving. Job well done.

I have reread the forum rules and try not to let it happen again. I have read post above and understand what I need to do but what program will I use to convert the mpg file from PAL TO NTSC?
Thank you

Here's a thread with some interesting info.....and how killingspree found it. Maybe there is something useful for you here. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50445&highlight=pal+to+ntsc
Here is some info on region free drives http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51216&highlight=region+free

Here is some info on region free drives http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...ght=region+free

sorry mitch
got to correct you on that one... the fact that a standalone can read only PAL, NTSC or both does have nothing to do with the fact if he's region free or not. if his player cannot read PAL it does not help making it region free. he would have to play a new firmware on and 'learn' the computer how to properly read PAL VCDs. the region lock is just a DVD internal locking mechanism that should keep people from one region to read/watch DVDs from the other.
anyway. this link is only for computer drives. computers allways can play both NTSC and PAL as it is not relevant in that case.

cheers

I'm getting errors using TMPGenc plus " read error occurred at address 00402f40 of module tmpgenc.exe with 20656850. I tried to reencode the mpg file with SVCD mode from Pal to ntsc.

He is not , read his post carefully , there is no any mention there that he downloaded copyrighted matirial (this is the rule you imply he violates) , good music videos does not always means copyrighted music videos , I can make a video of me playing on drums :) and post it on the web , everyone will be entitled to download , view , burn and even destribute it if I allow it .

Post like yours just help RIAA and others to intimidate people , people should know their rights !

This is mpucoder's Sticky (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50766), it covers this subject again. As we're seeing references of this nature in Noobs on an almost daily basis, maybe we need something like this at the top of the Noobs page too. The forum rules cover this in a very direct manner, but it seems as if many people either aren't reading the rules, or missing this the first time around.

As an extension of rule #6, and in keeping with the disclaimer of this site http://www.doom9.org/disclaimer.htm
it is our policy to give no help with illegally downloaded files. Any suggestion that the material you are using was not legally obtained will result in thread closure, usually without comment. Repeated offenses will earn you a strike for rule #6, which counts as 2 strikes.

It is also not permitted to ask for or post any files extracted or derived from a DVD, except in the most abstract manner. This includes ifo files, chapter lists, PGC's, etc. These are copyrighted, and posting them can be used by others with downloaded video to recreate the original structure of a DVD. Requesting these files is further evidence that you do not have the original. These posts and requests are violations of rule #6.

While it sometimes may be neccesary for 2 or more people to share files to solve a problem, this is best done in private. Once the problem has been solved, or identified, the results can be posted in a generic manner.



As you see , the forum rules prohibit to descuss only illegaly downloaded files , there for you can freely descuss legaly downloaded files .
Now about part two I marked in bold , this part is outdated and refered to the time when up to about a year ago all DVDs were produced by some companies and contained copyrighted material , now , with arival of a lot of DVD writers , this is just not true , nobody prevents me from makeng a DVD of my dog and giving it to my friend and if he wants to "rip" it and I agree he is completely entitled to do so . So if he have problems doing this why he can ask here questions about it ?

Moderators , please update this part of the rule to reflect reality !

Morever , I am not sure about American DMCA rulling , but in most countries , there is a "blank tape" law allowing the users to make personal copies even from copyrighted content unless Agreement on/with content says otherwise (and in some countries even in this case too) , so it absolutely legal to rip even copyrighted DVD as long as you not destributing or intend to destribute it .

and also it seems to me that you haven't even read the text you've quoted:

Any suggestion that the material you are using was not legally obtained
sorry but for me "i have downloaded music videos..." certainly suggests exactly that. if he hadn't illegaly downloaded these music videos, don't you think he'd told me right from the start. anyway what is your problem with the fact that i informed him of his violation? i don't really understand that! do you believe he cannot speak for himself? i highly doubt that!

about part 2: i do not think it is outdated! i highly doubt that anybody will have the exact same video of your "dog" as you do. so your ifo files of your doggie movie are completely useless to him. and even if you lent your doggie DVD to your friend and he didn't make a 1:1 iso copy, thus getting the ifo files, which is highly unlikely again as it is a DVD-5 anyway, i really doubt that he'll ask you in the public, on this forum for it and not PM or email you. so to come to an end i think this part of the rule (as well as all the others) are pefectly fine and up to date!

i know about this law! it exists in my country too. anyway you didn't read the whole story here either. it furthermore states that you have to have the original stored in the same house/appartment and also you have to own (!!) it. this is also called 'fair-use-right' and is basically what this whole site including this forum is based on.

PS: if you got a problem with the forum rules, this is not the appropriate forum anyway. so if you're still convinced that these rules are outdated, please either contact a mod or doom9 personally (per PM of course). it absolutely doesn't help anything to solving friendtoall's problem!

edit: a short note on your problem friendtoall: perhaps you're getting this read error because the file is corrupted in that place! take a look at the section where it might have occured and search for an unusual amount of blocks or so... otherwise i honestly do not have a real idea as to how to do it... perhaps you want to try to frameserve through avisynth/vfapi to DVD2SVCD...
