Hi-

If you really intend to convert from PAL to NTSC, you'll have to resize from PAL 720x576 to NTSC 720x480. This will mean reencoding.

To determine if it's interlaced or progressive, look at the frames. If it's a movie, the chances are very good (but by no means 100%) that it's progressive. If you don't see interlacing, it's not interlaced.

The chapter points will have to be adjusted for NTSC. No big deal.

If you intend to do it right, don't bother trying the quick fixes, like patching the IFOs.
