During the age of analog television, different parts of the world used to use different television display systems – namely PAL and NTSC. While that is largely no longer applicable nowadays, some DVDs and DVD players may only support one type of system or the other.
If you have a PAL DVD that you can’t play on your NTSC DVD player, you should convert it to NTSC instead. It may be tough finding a converter that can do that, but Movavi Video Converter will have you covered.
Assuming you have the DVD in your computer’s DVD drive, you can launch Movavi Video Converter and start converting it almost immediately. First you need to add the DVD however by clicking on ‘Add Media’ then ‘Add DVD’ and ‘Open DVD’ – then selecting the DVD video file under the ‘VIDEO_TS’ folder.
Next you should set it to convert that PAL DVD to NTSC by opening up the ‘Video’ tab and selecting the ‘DVD-Compatible Video’ category. As you’ll see Movavi Video Converter provides several NTSC presets that you can choose from, and you can select the quality that you prefer.
