Never seen this problem before. Normally this box is only greyed out if the source is PAL to start with. I have never known it be greyed out when the source is NTSC. When you select your IFO file in the conversion tab, if the source is NTSC the grey box will light up.

Before you hit the disc icon to load up the IFO it is greyed out anyway, but as I say it will become available as soon as the IFO loads up from an NTSC disc. If you have selected the IFO and it's still grey this is very strange.

Stupid answer I know but double check your DVD - are you absolutely sure it is NTSC? If you select Run from the start menu and type mplayer2 then open a vob file from the dvd (you have to select All files not Media files in the Open dialogue box) you can then check the framerate with View menu > Statistics.

Regardless of what it says on the box if it's 25.00 fps the source is PAL. If it's 29.97 or 23.96 its NTSC. If it proves to be NTSC but the box is still grey then I have no answer for you I'm afraid.

The Disk IS NTSC disk. The Smartripper say this, the PowerDVD 5 say this, the WinDVD say this.
The checkbox is greyed is i sellect the disk from dvdrom or ir i select the movie from hard disk after the ripping with smartripper.
