Hi all,
Now i know that this should not be possible but I think that I have created a NTSC menu in a PAL DVD. I have authored the DVD from scratch with Scenarist and it all looked good when previewing from within Scenarist and also with Power DVD and CinePlayer. when i go to play the movie on my Standalone (JVC) it will not play back. Apon checking the IFO on the DVD it looks like this:

Also if someone can advise the quickest way to get it all back into scenarist too it would be a huge help, cheers in advance.
