I bought a dvd from a specialty store which is in the NTSC region code, i have copied this disc onto my computer, but i wanna know how to burn it back onto another disc in PAL format using Roxio MyDVD

Happy_Meal,

Region coding is a method of copy protection, and breaking copy protection had been made illegal in the USA fo we can't discuss such things here.

However what you're wanting is a way to output in a different color system, which is a different thing.

Which of the two software suites this forum deals with do you have ?
What version of MyDVD does it contain ?

well its a good thing i dont live in the US then...
i have Roxio MyDVD 9 Studio Premier...
i didnt use it to copy the dvd to my computer but i want to use it to burn the movie to the right region code so i can at least play it on my tv and without having to change my laptop region code constantly

You can't burn DVDs with region coding using MyDVD 9.  It will produce only regionless DVDs if you burn from an unprotected DVD on your hard drive.

so you're telling me that since the dvd is already copied onto my HDD and i burn it onto a disc using MyDVD 9, it wont have a region code therefore i should be able to play it on any dvd player without a problem?

Yes.
