The ratio for PAL and NTSC is very different in the number of lines so
I copy PAL DVD into Movie Maker and Export as NTSC it is very time
consuming on slower computers but it works for me. I have yet to find
any convert programs that convert any format to another without some
quality loss or other unwanted results. So when I have formats other
than Avi for editing I use Quicktime Pro then export files or use
Movie Maker and save as to my computer. You can get the new Dazzle for
importing files into your computer and it reads everything for the
most part then you can export back out from your computer it is done
in real time so again time consuming. Hope that helps...
