I go on a cruise ship to another country. will buy a cd or dvd related to the cruise. went to Europe and it was in a pal format. convert to NTSC format.
takes forever. avoid if possible. living in the states Radio Shack sells many players that will play them all. time consuming for a dvd or dual layer.

Hello,

Are you using some sort of movie file to make the vob files and burn the dvd? Such as avi or mpg? Encoding can take a long time, it takes me 4+ hours to convert wth nero, then burn. It all depends on how fast your machine is. Let it run over night, see if it completes. You may try to try an alternative dvd authoring tool such as nero vision or dvd santa.
