Good heavens! IfoEdit is EXACTLY the kind of application I was looking for!
I'm very surprised all my googling didn't turn up IfoEdit as the program of
choice for unoquivically determining PAL vs NTSC video formats!
I downloaded and installed the IfoEdit freeware (installation was as simple
as a copy of the single file in the download). IfoEdit reported in the VMG
Overview: section:
Video Manager Menu attributes:
Video: MPEG-1 720x576 (PAL) (PAL 625/50) (4:3) (pan-scan & letterboxed)
Number of Video Title Sets on this DVD: 2
Title Set 1:
VTS_1 Video: MPEG-2 720x576 (PAL) (PAL 625/50) (16:9) letterboxed
Title Set 2:
VTS_2 Video: MPEG-2 720x576 (PAL) (PAL 625/50) (16:9) letterboxed
So, I think the only problem is I have a PAL DVD which I need to convert to
NTSC. There seem to be tutorials out there so I am currently following one
of them (which uses TMPGEnc trialware, DGMPGDec DGIndex freeware, and
DGPulldown freeware

While I'm at it, would most of you recommend this approach to identify that
the DVD is PAL and then to convert it to NTSC using this tutorial?
