We have a Sony digital video camera that was purchased in New Zealand, which
is PAL. I have had no problem using moviemaker and turning the video's from
it into NTSC, which we are in Canada. My question now is this - how do we put
together a movie for family in NZ when we cannot save our project to our
computer as a DV-AVI file in PAL format? The only option available in
Moviemaker is DV-AVI format in NTSC.
Thanks,

To do it properly you need a standards converter, like canopus procoder.

What is this, and what does it do?

It converts a PAL movie to a NTSC movie, by changing the frame size and
rate, and also the components of chrominace and luminance which are carried
differently in the NTSC signal.

Wow, that's great. I am assuming that this is a software program, and I am
hoping that it is not too expensive.
Do you know if it does the same for an NTSC DV-AVI file to make it PAL? And
is there no option in MM to select to output your video into PAL DV-AVI??

I checked out your website, and noticed that you have Ulead which allows you
to 'Convert type 1 dv-avi file to type 2 and vice versa'. Is this applicable
to my situation? Will it convert NTSC DV-AVI file to PAL? Thanks a bunch.

Leanne,
type one dv-avi and type 2 dv-avi are only different in that type 1 is audio
and video joined, whereas type 2 dv-avi has the audio and video in seperate.
This has nothing to do with converting pal to ntsc.
Look at www.canopus.com and then search for procoder express, it's not too
expensive and is software.
It will convert ntsc to pal, avi to mpeg do both at the same time, make
wmv's and movs etc. It's an excellent app, which if you wish to do this
often is well worth buying.

I think total video converter(http://www.effectmatrix.com) is the best
the most powerful video converter.

I have Ulead MovieFactory. We have found an option in Moviefactory
preferences that allows up to change to output to PAL, will just doing this
make it PAL compliant and playable on PAL systems?
Thanks,

It won't do it properly, it will change the frame rate and frame size, but
the quality will be poor as it doesn't address the colour issues. It all
depends on what your expectatons and needs are. There si also no gurantee it
will work on a PAL machine as it won't be a proper PAL signal. As most UK
dvd players, I assume it may be the same for New Zealand, but am not sure,
play Pseudo ntsc signals it may be best to send a ntsc disc rather than a
phony PAL one.
