Hi my goal is to put 15 MMA fights on 2 one DVD-r disk.

I have re-authored all of my DVD`s and cut all the fights that I want.

Opened TMPEG DVD Aurthor loaded all MMA fights as sperate track. played around with my menu to make it look good.

I then click the "begin output" button > and I get this error

You cannot mix NTSC and PAL on a single DVD.

You cannot mix NTSC and PAL on a single DVD.
Please use either NTSC or PAL format.

some of my DVD`s are from the USA and soem are from the UK >>>> is there any easy way of converting them to the same region resolution etc.

any advie you can give me is most apreciated !! I am doing this for a friend in the USA.

cheers jamie

that's nonsense: i've got several commercial DVDs that mix NTSC and PAL... they weren't supposed to, but it's a matter of poor authoring practices. it causes my TV to jump all over the place (it autodetects NTSC or PAL, but the jump takes a second or two), but it works allright.

you might need to find an authoring program that will allow you to mix formats.

or you could bite the bullet and use 2 discs...

(btw, what's MMA? never heard of it)
