  For question 1- If your not going to online, just using what you have now for a master, then use Nattress Standards conversion, works great.
  If your going to online convert your files first, either with Standards Conversion or have a transfer house do it. From my own miserable experience if you use the footage as PAL in an NTSC timeline when you go to up rez your timecode will be off and your clips will be captured wrong. I found out the hard way.

  Question 2 you have to go into the motion tab and change the distort field, I’m not sure of the numbers off hand.
