Virtual Dub rocks and does most things you need it to, including rotating video images (handy if you've been using a Sony digital camera for video and then finding that everything's 90 degrees out when you watch it on your PC screen).
Also, unless you're converting the xvid file into a DVD VOB format (MPEG-2) then you shouldn't have to worry about whether it's PAL or NTSC. You're playing on your iPAQ and PC (or DVD player that reads XVID's MPEG-4 stream) so the players will sort out all the hard stuff for you ;o)
