Importing PAL DVD

[Kersey]

I have used Ulead products for the past few months and I actually do like Movie factory 4.0. However I am having a few problems that I could not find answers to. Here is my issue.

I recently purchased a PAL soccer dvd from europe. The dvd is very basic and has no menus. It will play on my computer dvd drives but not my stand alone North American dvd player, what I wanted to was capture the dvd onto ulead and then create menus and burn as a ntsc dvd. The problem is anytime I try to import the dvd it gets to 100% and then freezes. I have to control alt delete to end the program. when I check the result of the capture in the ulead folder the movie has been captured as an mpeg. BUT when I then reopen Movie factory and try to import the mpeg into the program, I cannot even select the mpeg file and Movie factory crashes again. I can play the mpeg in Power dvd but I cannot open the video in Movie factory nor can I open it in any of my video editing programs, thus leading me to believe that the mpeg file is flawed. so what can I do to remedy this problem??. I have a Gig of Ram and fast processer so what is up?? is it the PAL format that is screwing things up?? or is Movie Factory flawed?? I downloaded the recent update pack to no effect.

Please any help would be appreciated!!!

Thanks
