<p dir="auto">I am evaluating DMC to see if it will do what I need; which is the following:</p>
<p dir="auto">I have DVDs I create in Avid Liquid that produce VOBs on my local hard-drive as well burn directly to DVD.  The DVDs are created in NTSC format and I need to create DVD versions in PAL for viewers overseas, etc.  So, ... my plan was to take the VOBs that were created in the directory VIDEO_TS (on my hard-drive) and convert them to PAL using DMC, and then burn them to DVD using Nero.</p>
<p dir="auto">A typical VIDEO_TS folder will contain the following files:<br />
VIDEO_TS.BUP<br />
VIDEO_TS.IFO<br />
VIDEO_TS.VOB<br />
VTS_01_0.BUP<br />
VTS_01_0.IFO<br />
VTS_01_1.VOB<br />
VTS_01_2.VOB<br />
VTS_01_3.VOB</p>
<p dir="auto">My plan was to create duplicate directory structure as above with VIDEO_TS on the root; except the VOBs will now be PAL instead of NTSC.  Then I was going to burn the directory structure "VIDEO_TS" and everything under it to DVD.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now, my questions are:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Does this seem like a feasible and consistent process?</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">After conversion, I noticed that the file extension is  mpg as in "VTS_01_1.mpg" versus "VTS_01_1.VOB"  Can I just change the extension after conversion?</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Considering this scenario, do I need to burn via Nero as a "Data DVD" or "Video DVD?"</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">The other files under the VIDEO_TS directory don't have to be changed in anyway - right?</p>
</li>
<li>
<p dir="auto">Are there any gotchas I may not be aware of?</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Thanks in advance for your patience and help!<br />
Kevin</p>

<p dir="auto">Our recommended procedure for creating PAL DVDs would be:</p>
<ol>
<li>Convert the VOB files to PAL MPEG 2 files (.mpg extension) as you have already done.</li>
<li>Use your own DVD burning program to create a new DVD using the Video DVD in PAL format.<br />
The program will create new BUP and IFO files which will match the video files.</li>
</ol>
