There is not an easy way I am aware of:
However, check this link:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...ntsc+c onvert
Just incase if the link goes down:
Just don't know if anybody is interested, but I played a bit whitch the RoBa for DVD2SVCD and found an easy way to convert a PAL-DVD (movie only, progressive, AC3 (one or more)) to high quality NTSC-DVD.
Needed tools:
ifoedit
dvddecrypter (surely you can rip with dvd2svcd also)
CCE
dvd2svcd 1.2.1 build 3 (thanx a lot, keep on the good work)
D2SRobBa (tested with V 3.0.0) (great tool)
ac3machine + besweet 1.4 with ac3enc.dll
If you want subtitles converted to, you need subrip and SubripFPSConverter.exe and srt2sup
I assume that you configured your dvd2svcd already for CCE
1) Rip the PAL movie to disk.
2) Fire up D2SRoBA
CD Size: 4480 or 4350 (dvd-r, dvd+r)
Num CDs: 1
Sample %: 2
AutoQ: 40
MaxQ: 50
AdjustQ: 0.6
Conditional sizing pass: yes
Untersz%: 2.0
Oversize%: 1.0
Audioencoding after video: no
%of video: <look into dvdshrink how big your Audio-Stream(s) are
and get the right percentage
Adjust max video bitrates: i don't know if you have to say
yes here, you can try to say no, i think the the bitrate of the
audio won't be subtracted from the total bitrate
Total bitrate: 9800
Max avg offset: 300
3) Hit 'Go'
In DVD2SVCD:
4) Conversion:
-> open the IFO of your ripped movie
-> select the audio tracks you want
5) Bitrate:
-> set Max to 9800 (will be overwritten by D2SRoBa)
-> set Min to 3000
-> uncheck Min averag.
6) DVDRip:
-> Uncheck
7) Frameserver:
-> select BicubicResize or BilinearResize
-> mark 'Edit when dvd2avi is done'
8) Conversion:
-> Start conversion.
- DVD2SVCD first will create a dvd2avi project
9) change the AVS-Script a little:
-> in the line with the resize command, replace the 576 with 480
-> add AssumeFPS(23.976,true) to the end of the script
-> Hit save and Ok
- DVD2SVCD extracts the audio
- D2SRoBa does it's magic
10) While encoding the video fire up ac3machine (dspguru, you are a genius, what would we do without you!)
-> Make a framerate conversion of the audio from 25000 to 23976,
channels mode 5.1 (2.0 does not produce a correct ac3 stream)
and select the bitrate you want
( the resulting ac3 file will be a little bit larger than
original with the same settings because it's playing time is
about 4% longer)
-> To every repeat: Name the output-file
Extracted_audio_1...n_ntsc.ac3 (e.g
Extracted_audio_1_ntsc.ac3 for the first stream,
Extracted_audio_2_ntsc.ac3 for the second etc.)
11) Repeat 10 for every audio track you extracted
- DVD2SVCD makes pulldown automaticly thanks to D2SRoBa
12) After pulldown is finished, you can close DVD2SVCD, the muxing
does not need to be performed.
If you're fine with video + audio only in your NTSC-DVD than skip the following steps and jump to 20)
13) Open Subrip
-> click open ifo
-> select the caption you want
-> subpictures to text via OCR
-> hit start
14) After you got your subtitles in the subtitle window:
-> Select corrections - Post OCR spelling correction
(selfexplanatory)
15) save as *.srt subtitle file
16) Repeat step 13 for all the subtitles you want
17) Open subripFPSconverter and change the framerate of the srt file
to 23.976
18) Open srt2sup
-> open your srt file
-> select 'all'
-> select sup file - save
19) Repeat 18 for all your subtitles
- author a new dvd
20) fire up ifoedit
-> open your original ifo
-> expand VTS_PGCITI and select the PGC of your movie
-> select Tools - 'Save Celltimes to file' and save them
-> restart ifoedit
-> select DVD Author - Author new dvd
-> Video: Pulldown_Encoded_Video_NTSC.mpv in your movie directory
-> Audio: select your Extracted_audio_1..n_ntsc.ac3 files and give
them the right description on the left side (Deutsch, English
etc.)
-> Only for subtitlers: add your *.sup files as subpicture streams
to the DVD
-> in Scene changes / Chapters open the 'Celltimes.txt' file you
created before
-> Enter a destination directory and hit Ok.
21) for Subtitlers:
-> When ifoedit is finished, you have a running NTSC-DVD, but the
colors of the subtitles are totally messed up
-> open ifoedit and open your original ifo
-> expand VTS_PGCITI and select the PGC of your movie
-> scroll a little bit down and find the lines that start with
Color, (e.g. Color 0 Y Cr CB, about 16 lines) and mark them
-> select Subtitle-Color - Copy colors from this PGC
-> Open your IFO from the new authored DVD
-> expand VTS_PGCITI and select the PGC of your newly authored
movie
-> select Subtitle-Color - Paste colors into this PGC
-> Hit save
Finished. You should have a high quality NTSC DVD (with subtitles) on your HD now. Hope that helps.
Question: Is there a possibility to convert the running speed of the subtitles directly in the sup-file without OCR? The advantage: you could rip the sup stream, change it and have much less work and you would have the benefit of special characters staying intact.

Also, have a look at softwares such as "TMPGEnc Plus"(MPEG encoder) or "TMPGEnc DVD Author". You can use those programs to convert VOB files to NTSC or PAL DVDs.
