Hi Karl

I agree with Joe that it should not work on your DVD player if it is a PAL 
encoded disk and that your computer should not care which way it was encoded.  
In your message you said that converted them to the PAL aspect ratio  but you 
don't mention that you encoded them to a playable DVD.  There are some DVD 
players that will play slide shows of data disks containing image files but 
most players require a video encoded DVD.  That means that you need to use iDVD 
or Toast in conjunction with Roxio's Motion Picture to create a slide show.  

All that said I have sent several DVDs encoded to the NTSC standard and they 
had no trouble playing them in Germany and England, I think the DVD players 
over there are more capable of playing all the various standards and they also 
seem less troubled with region coding as you can play commercial disks  brought 
from North America with no trouble.
