Will it do that? I recently had to copy a disk from a friend who was a mad fan of a Czech movie. He bought it from the Czech Republic, for $30, found it was Region 1 (?) but PAL. It took DVDBackup, DVD2one, then ffmpegX to start a two-part transformation: first to DivX from the TS_ file to burn in the subtitles, then to a PAL TS folder, once again using ffmpegX, using some custom settings. Tricky. How great would it be to have some software that could just turn a PAL NTSC to NTSC, or vice-versa, in one step, (By the way, the DVD I gave my friend turned out great -- eventually, but I had to remove the menus and such, because I couldn't figure out how to convert them.)

PAL/NTSC conversion? - Notary Sojac
*sigh* If only it did. I am still searching for PAL => NTSC conversion software that does a decent job and does not cost an arm & a leg.SERBIAN's "DVD Converter" does a mediocre job (copy is dark & muddy) and won't handle input files larger than 2Gb due to a limitation in QuickTime.
There's a plug-in for FinalCut Pro that is supposed to be great (can't recall the name) but I don't have a grand laying around to purchase FCP in the first place.
Atlantis is supposed to be pretty good for the $100-200 range, but I haven't tried it yet.

MacTheRipper can remove region coding...Popcorn compresses the video and fits it to a blank DVD that you can record. It doesn't change the video - so it does not convert PAL to NTSC.
