Hi everyone

I live in Canada and want to make movies to send to my family in England. I know we are NTSC here and they are PAL there, but how exactly (and when in the whole process of "movie making") do I make conversions.

Thanks for help and easy to follow answers please!

Easiest answer first from someone in the U.K.
Send it in NTSC format, most of our DVD players will accept a NTSC DVD.

Hardest answer next:
Please view VS9: PAL to NTSC Conversion - although this is 'the other way round' there is mention of it in that link.

I could be wrong because I do not know the type of DVD player and TV the receipients of your finished video use but it's a safe bet that they will not have a problem with NTSC video. All the PAL DVD players I know, can also play NTSC. It's a different story if you want to play a PAL movie on an NTSC player.

Make a trial DVD in NTSC and send that across. If they do have a problem, that's when you start thinking about making changes.
