Is there an easy way to convert PAL DVD to NTSC

I own a PAL DVD but can only watch it with my computer
because my stand alone player is NTSC.

Is there an EASY way to make an NTSC copy of it?

I don't care about keeping the menus or extras,
just as long as the resolution doesn't change much.

And you live where? That's quite important considering your question.

I live in Canada.

I'd like to burn a copy in NTSC format.

It's not worth it for me to buy a PAL player
just for one movie.

Your alternative is to buy a PAL-to-NTSC decoder, which will likely be more expensive than a new DVD player and produce worse quality.

Your only alternatives are a player with PAL->NTSC ability (and that's not hard to find) or using your computer to play it on a TV.
