Question : What is the best way to convert PAL VOB files to NTSC format

I need to know the best way to convert PAL VOB files to NTSC files. What would be the fastest way and if possible freeware  software. I am used to using Nero. Also the video needs to be shrunk to fit a normal size DVD. Thanks for any help in advance.

The best format to record and play back video programming on DVD in is the format in which the programming was originally created.
 If it was videotaped in the NTSC format, then the NTSC DVD will be the version of choice.
 If it was videotaped in the PAL format, then the PAL DVD will be the version of choice
