Hmmm. Well then it's not the magic bullet...too bad. It does work for me though and my player/TV will NOT play PAL content any other way...another computer mystery I guess. Still, this could also work for others with this problem if they want to try.

Heres how: Burn from HD. In Build mode add the individual video files, not the Video_TS folder. Go to Options and select ISO 9660+UDF. Go to Labels and enter HOME_VIDEO for both ISO9660 and UDF. Burn. This has worked great for me many times...Good Luck

Well, nonetheless this method does make previously unplayable PAL content work in North American DVD players, whether or not the content is actually converted or not. And it remains playable in every machine I've tried, with no loss of quality, sync or menu problems at all. It may surprise you all but after googling and searching for a simple solution without success and without a laborious conversion process using multiple software programs... IMGBurn creates compatible DVDs between PAL and NTSC and thats what I need, as have many others in many forums. And its so simple.

SUCCESS! After making a few coasters I just figured out how its done and now know I'm not crazy. If I didn't have those 50 discs in my collection I would have given up, I mean how can you argue with a great programs AUTHOR? Heres how: In Build mode add the individual files, not the TS folder. Go to Options and select ISO 9660+UDF. Go to Labels and enter HOME_VIDEO. Burn. I just successfully burned a BBC Arcade Fire program in PAL and it plays perfectly in my Canadian NTSC region player. Try it and get back to me. IMGBurn IS an amazing program! Thanks

Actually I have used IMG to do this numerous times. It involves doing something like going to the options panel in the Build mode and selecting a particular file system and UDF version and then to labels and naming them HOME_VIDEO or something like that. This process works great and I have burned probably 50 DVDs this way...I've just forgotten the combination of settings! Patrick

Hi. Just registered and poked around, nice forum. So, I used to know how to use IMG to burn PAL files to a playable NTSC format for home DVD players but have tried recently and seem to have forgotten.... Can anyone help? Thanks.
