Easiest way for NTSC to PAL conversion Can't Post

I have some home videos I made on NTSC DVDs. Is there a simple way of converting them to PAL in either iDVD or DVDSP? I have all files in my computer, I also have Nattress Standard Conversion in FCP, but I've never used it. I don't care if the output quality is worse as long as it's still watchable, I basically just want to grab either the DVD or the DVDSP file and output it as PAL if possible, without having to rerender all video files using the Standard Conversion plugin.

Can I do it this way? I know I'll have to change the setting in my superdrive but will this work?

Any comments helpful. Thanks.

I think Compressor can convert it. But I'm not positive

I just learned something. iDVD (and DVDSP too) burn region 0, so all that's needed for European players is that they can view NTSC and that the TV can handle it. Any newer player and TV, at least in Sweden, can handle that. At least that's how things worked out for my parents (new TV and player).

Awesome...
