What method/programs do you guys use? I don’t trust my hard drive so I want to keep the file in discussion on a DVD, only problem is I live in a PAL region and this is an NTSC VIDEO_TS file.
Anyone? I want to retain as much picture/sound quality as possible.
Is your goal simply archival or does it need to play back? Just burn the files if it’s for archiving. You can always retrieve them later. But DVD-R is not the ideal format for long term archiving. I think you would be better off transferring it to a couple external hard drives. If it’s just one DVD, the space should be negligible as far as a modern hard drive goes.
Even if you’re in PAL region you should have no problem playing an NTSC DVD these days. No conversion necessary.
