Converting finished NTSC DVD to PAL DVD Can't Post

So I've created an NTSC DVD for my clients, using FCP 5.1.4 and DVD SP 4, and they've got some relatives overseas who need a PAL version. (I've tried to tell them that 90 percent of the players in Europe play NTSC but they insist they need PAL).

Has anyone done this before?

From my research it looks like I'll need to first convert my video assets to PAL, either by using a Nattress filter, or by using Compressor 2. I'm guessing the latter will take quite a while.

Can I then open my NTSC project in DVD SP, switch the standard to PAL, import the PAL assets and proceed as usual? Will my NTSC menus and chapter points be preserved as PAL menus, or will I have to recreate everything?

Also, if anyone has done this, how much did you charge?

Thanks.
