Oh my goodness you should see my red face! IFOEdit is a program I use nearly
everyday and it completely slipped off the radar - anyway the other 2
programs are useful. I don't have any particular preference for system
conversion as it is not really an issue in Oz as most gear is PAL/NTSC and
most DVD players are region free or can be easily modded. I do it for when I
sent a disc to my aunt in NY because I know all the problems you have in the
USA with other standards. I use Canopus anyway. But be warned it can take a
long time.... btw TMPGenc is a very good program
