PAL <=> NTSC in MPEG format

[icemann476]

I looked all over for the answer before I posted but if someone would prefer to direct me to a previous thread as apposed to answering, I'd appreciate it all the same. Here's the dilemma…

A friend gave me an SVCD backup of one of his movies and now I’d like to convert it to DVD. The problem is, my friend’s players all use PAL, I need it in NTSC and it’s already in an MPEG format now. I have successfully converted several films he’s given me in the past but they were in AVI format and I’m not aware of any software that will convert frame/audio rate in MPEG format…

Is the only option I have to convert it to AVI format, convert the frame rate and encode it back to MPEG2?

T.I.A.

What I usually do with mpeg files.

1. Load mpg into dvd2avi and save project (d2v)+ demux audio
2. use this script in avisynth

LoadPlugin("c:\plugin\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("e:\test.d2v")
BicubicResize(720,480)
ConvertFPS(29.970)
ConvertToYV12()

Notes: You mush have mpeg2dec.dll or later plugin in your plugins folder.

So far I am fine with the results.

Hope it will work for u too.

It seems to work with a test clip, I'll give it a go.
