I'm using VHS rips for the first two, but for Disciples, I want to use as my main master a copy I found on a French DVD called Contes Macabre. It looks much better than a VHS rip; in fact, it looks like the distributors pulled it from an original 16mm print. However, the DVD is dubbed into French, and doesn't include the original English language track.
Now I have the English audio, but it's pulled from an NTSC video source with sub-par picture quality. I'd love to be able to put the English audio onto the French DVD picture, but obviously since the frame rates differ in PAL and NTSC I can't do so without having not match up.
Does anyone know a freeware program I can use to convert the French DVD to NTSC 24fps, or convert the NTSC file to PAL 25fps? I've tried using Erightsoft's Super (C), but it doesn't seem to be working - the running times just come out the same. Any help you guys can give me would be magnificent, as I'd rather not use the crappy NTSC video.
