    I have a European DVD to be converted to North American. Does Vegas 5 have the capabilities to convert this.

    Just ask Vegas to encode to mpeg-2 using the DVDA NTSC template, maybe adjust the bitrate as you would if doing a PAL DVD.

    Render at Best and select Reduce Interlace Flicker for all the media.

    Alternatively render to a new PAL AVI and encode from that to NTSC as it’ll save you having to add the Reduce Interlace Flicker thing to lots of clips.

    You should be able to play the resulting DVD in your existing DVD player if you’ve got a recent or el cheapo one.

    I don’t know about this! There’s differences not only in frame rates and scan lines, but in video sizes as well.

    I’ve been looking into converting PAL to NTSC for some time now and I have some answers for you but please give me some time to remember where in 2 computers I have that information.

    I’ll get back to you.

    Hi again
    Okay, check out this web site. It will give you a lot of information about converting PAL to NTSC as well as the differences in the 2 formats. I found a lot of stuff here I didn’t know.
