View Full Version : One Click DVD Solution PAL to NTSC.. possible?

Hello Guys!!

For a while now, I use to convert my PAL dvds to NTSC for make them work in where I live..

Using the usual tools for video and audio ( adjust fps, and using ssrc and wavefix ), I made a lots of DVD of that kind, redoing all the steps for reencoding and rebuilding "manually" the menus and stuff..

I am new to the "one click solution" and I really wonder if that could be possible to implement these steps (PAL to NTSC) into DVDShrink or any other one click solution :confused:

Looking at the steps I need to do (manually), and what for example DVDShrink has to do, I believe that readjusting the video framerate and the audio stretching could be easy no? There could be a problem remaining that I dunno if it's possible to play with and it's the subtitles ( it wasn't necessary for my manually did backups ) So I dunno if there could be a "transparent way" to extract and adjust the subtitles..

Well sorry for my "so-so" english built sentence, I usually speaks french!

Can someone tell me if theses steps are possible to be implement into a one click solution? If so, be sure that I would PAY for having it, or if I could programming it myself I really would try!! But I have too much lacks playing with the IFOs and VOBs..

Thanx in advance guys!

Possible? Yes, but it's not here now, and maybe not for a while, or ever.
And certainly not by any modification to DVDShrink, DVD2One, or DVD95COPY. These programs achieve their speed by remaining in the compressed domain. That means they are unaware of the spatial domain, and therefore incapable of changing the resolution. And none of these programs, including InstantCopy, process the audio or subpictures at all. And, of course, menu hot spots need to be resized (does anything do this?).

The most likely solution would be an "automation GUI", along the lines of DVD2DVDR.

Thanx mpucoder, I understand ..

I have forgot to think about the resizing processing too! :(

Well .. I will continue doing them in the manual way, then :)
As for DVD2DVDR, I will take a look into it and it's processing to see the possible automation GUI process..


:rolleyes: I was dreaming ... only dreaming! :p
