convert pal to ntsc

Got a few PAL DVDs mostly of TV series, so the
menus are very important.

I have tried the IFOEdit/NeroVision technique which
does convert to NTSC, but leaves the menus inoperable.

I really need to convert a couple of disks. And
while my DVD players will play absolutely anything,
my neighbor's will not.

Any ideas for converting the whole DVD, including the
built-in menus??

All you need is DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink both available from Doom9.
First Rip the dvd to your HDD with DVD Decrypter and then use DVD Shrink to
burn to DVD-R/+R disc. It doesn't get any easier.

Except that the menus no longer work.

You'll have that problem with most conversion programs.

Faster, cheapest solution, tell your pal to get a new DVD player, any
$50 new one will play PAL DVD's.
