DVCPRO HD footage NTSC to PAL Digital Conversion?
I have some DVCPRO HD tapes that were shot in NTSC that I need to convert to PAL format. I have the footage digitised and was wondering if there is a way to digitally transcode the footage from NTSC to PAL?
Time is not a factor but money is and would like to know if there was a way of transcoding without sending it to a transfer house for a standards conversion.
Thanks

If you have MC4, just open a PAL project and open the bin containing the NTSC footage. Toss them in a sequence and they will have RT motion adapters applied to them automatically. If you want, you can promote the motion adapters to Timewarp effects, and change the preference from Blended Interpolated to something else.

Thanks for that – do you also know if is possible to do it on AVID Adrenaline?

If your system is able to run Media Composer 4 with an Adrenaline hooked to it, you can use Adrenaline for it. The mix and max frame rate functionality isn’t dependent on hardware–it’s all software. So you could run Media Composer software and still accomplish what you’re wanting to do.
What are your system specs? PC or Mac? Model number of computer? That will likely determine whether your system can still run Adrenaline with MC4.0.

It’s PC based.
-The original media had been digitized into Final Cut Pro using DVCPRO HD Codec – what should this therefore be converted into for AVID?
-And for the AVID project we convert this into what are the ideal settings for the project/timeline?
Just to let you know, we are editors but not overly familiar with AVID so some further advice would be great.
Thanks!
