I live in UK and have just had a similar problem with the message
Incompatible TV system.
I have a Panasonic DMR EX 85 DVD HDD recorder and I just tried playing a
NTSC DVD.
the message Incompatible TV system. appeared . now I know I have played NTSC
before on this player so what's up?
I had to go into setup and put playback connections to NTSC and it played.
BUT this has not been the case before.
Then I realised . I had a program set to record in 18 hours time. I deleted
the timer and the disk then played as a normal disk with the setting as I
had them originally. so a tricky one.
Could that be your original problem.
as for conversion programs Ulead will export pal as ntsc.
Nero Nerovision Express will convert standards.
All conversion will be slow. It is a big job and in the 70s TV companies
paid a fortune to convert systems.
Your easiest way my be to buy a cheap multistandard multiregional DVD
player. we can get them in the UK for about 20 = approx $40 and these play
PAL as true NTSC and vice versa.
