I shot a film on HDV-PAL,

then edited in MC 3.0,

then outrput to a QT Ref

What are folks using to transcode to NTSC SD DVD these days...it's been about a year since I've attempted this type of a job...can Avid DVD transcode Pal to NTSC?

please advise what's all making you happy

(I have used Procoder 2.0 in the past...does this program have a low cost competitive rival out there?)

MC 4!! 

Put a duplicate of your HDV PAL timeline in a seperate bin.

Open a NTSC HDV project and import the Bin from the PAL project.

Render and follow your normal method to create a DVD (NTSC)

Thanks Andrew!

I will upgrade to 4 - I was planning on upgrading next month, when I start a new project

although - I can see that there is a 30day free trial being offered for MC 4 - will this do the trick?

if not????,

for a quick and easy (and cheaop) solution...what can you suggest?

are there any curent $100(ish) solutions out there?

 

 

 

Atlantis 2. I have had some sync problems with it recently though.

MC4  You are buying it next month??  Trial it first with the 30 day demo now........ You will save yourself the $100 towards the upgrade and probably buy it before the demo runs out

 

all good Andrew - I'm downloading MC 4 as I type this - I'll let you know how it goes

Hi Andrew, I tried out Douglas's video tutorial #118, IFO edit was a very effective method to have a NTSC player read a PAL DVD - just thought to pass that one along - ha ha - and YES! MC4 is  blast - all good!
