There are two issues with a conversion from PAL to NTSC.
1. The quality on the computer is excellent. On the TV it reminds me of a VHS copy.
2. I can't get the subtitles to stay on the DVD.

In addition, even though I try to convert using Roxio and it says NTSC, the tv says it's PAL.
So I'm Using DVDshrink for the conversion and Roxio for the burning.

Another issue is that there is a load of video burning programs under the video tab in Roxio. I have no idea which one to use. I just use trial and error.

The actual product is Easy Media Creator 10.

thank you

First of all you were in the wrong forum (EMC 10 is 2 years older and 2 versions back from Creator 2010 where you posted)

Then you have not given any information at all on what you did, what program you used from EMC 10 so that it is impossible to offer any help.

Gee, I would have sworn I said I converted using DVDshrink and then tried to burn with EMC10. Then I said, with all the DVD options under Video, I'm really not sure Which one I should use.

DVDShrink is not a Roxio program

If you are trying to convert a commercial disc, then that is illegal unfortunately and we can offer no help here

As Daithi said DVDshrink has nothing to do with Roxio and as far as I know it does not do any NTSC to PAL or vice versa conversion.

Roxio offers burning to ntsc, but when I burn the files they are still pal.

Of course Roxio offers burning to NTSC, nobody ever said they didn't

Perhaps if you listed exactly what you are trying to do and the steps you are taking, we can pinpoint where you are going wrong.

The fact you can burn them and view them doesn't necessarily mean they're NOT NTSC format - most players (and all computers) this side of the pond can handle both formats

I believe you are incorrect. Outside of computers, most players cannot play pal just as they cannot play anything outside of region 1. I am trying to convert a foreigin film to ntsc so it can be seen on our players. My mother gets gifts of Polish  films and cannot watch them. I would like to use my Roxio but, with all due respect, I need information on the technique without the police work. In many publications, for sheer technical education, the publishers will explain a technique and then explain also that certain uses of the technique may not be legal. I am not asking any one to perform an illegal act. I just want the technical feedback. Thank you.

No, you are incorrect. Most DVD players outside of North America are able to play both NTSC and PAL DVDs. Region codes have nothing to do with NTSC and PAL.

If the DVD (no matter from where) has any kind of copyright protection on it, Roxio will not touch it and discussion of converting such DVDs is not allowed here.

Go here and download the manual.  Also use the help menu in MyDVD(DVD Builder).

The subtitles are a separate track and this program will not handle that track.  Perhaps you need something like this.

BTW, it has been quite awhile but I know that I converted some non-copyrighted British comedies to NTSC with EMC 10 for my brother and had no problems.   There was no need to use anything other than EMC 10 do do so.

sounds like we're on different sides of the pond.

Other side of the pond = Great Lakes?

that explains the disagreement.

What disagreement?
