convert to ntcs from pal software?

[Sony]

hi,
i recently attended a wedding overseas, in india, we just for a dvd and one vcd of it, but both seem to be in PAL format, as i'm getting a region error when i try to play them on my dvdplayer, the player itself is about 4-5yrs old, it's definetly not region free. both play fine on my pc, but i want to watch them on tv, i had them converted before through a local video store, but they would not tell me the software they used. does anyone know how i might be able to convert the dvd and vcd to work on my player, otherwise does anyone know of any good region free player i might be able to pick up, i've seem a bunch on amazon but wasn't sure which was worth it.

Thanks!

a region free player won't help you in this case. The problem is that pal and ntsc are 2 different video formats.

The shorter answer is that there is no easy 'one click' solution. here's a link to get you started though: http://www.videohelp.com/guides.php?...lect=4;41#4;41
