How to change settings from Pal to NTSC

Hi all

I have encode video (DVD ready) in both PAL and NTSC formats

The Pal version is fine and fits on a normal 4.7G disc

The Video but in NTSC takes about 6.5G

I realize I have to change the setting but where do you do it ?

Thanks if any one can help me

YOu do it with a proper standards converter, the conversion that takes place with VS and other editing apps is a very poor way of doing it, riddled with propblems as you have found.

If you have many to do then invest in something like canopus procoder, if you have only this one it'd be easiest to get a professional to do it for you.

Thanks for the reply

I noticed that you can change the format of the output

there is an option DVD-PAL but you cannot change it

maybe there is an option DVD-NTSC ???

Hi,

Lancecarr has done a tutorial on converting PAL-NTSC or vice-versa. You can read it here:

Thanks for that advice

I have dmf5 and there is a option to use DVD-PAL format but it is greyed out
what i really want to know is if I can change it to DVD-NTSC and if so how

There is no mention of the different way NTSC and PAL handle crominance and luminace, (colour/brightness) in the tutorial or how it is converted from one to the other using this method.

I would really like to know.
