    A fellow asked me this question:

    He has a DVD which is in encoded for US TV and when he plays it in his DVD player its appears in black and white and there is no sound. He wants me to convert it to PAL.

    It is not an encrytped DVD as far as know.Its not a hollywood movie.

    Whats the best way to approach so he can play it on a stand alone DVD player .

    I will be getting the DVD this weekend and will be able to examine futher.

    Any ideas?

    Rip the film. Reencode with TMPGenc from NTSC to PAL and then burn back to DVD. Go to http://www.dvdrhelp.com for more help.

    yeah checked that site out but i cant burn it back to DVD as it dont have a DVD burner.

    But thanks for the advice. Might try and create a few video CDs instead.
