Thank you, Chewtobacca, I appreciate it, I have no experience with PAL to NTSC DVD conversion and frankly, no interest in learning. It should be a straight forward conversion though, one film, no menu.
OK, now, tell me who is interested in the mp4 (the quality is surprisingly good for 700MB and the resolution is full anamorphic, not as good as a DVD but better than your average DVD rip) so I can start sending links as soon as it's uploaded :-)
