conversion
Hey
I have two urgent questions which I need help in:-
1. I have been asked to convert a MOV to a mpeg 2
now the program I normally use is Sorenson Squeeze and Final Cut Studio Compressor —
but I normally use Squeeze to do mainly mpeg One CONVERSIONSI am not sure how to do a mpeg 2 conversion
here are the requirements:-
format: mpeg 2
width : 720
height: 480
crop to center: – 1.333:1
Padding: None
frame rate: 30 FPS
Aspect Ratio: 4:3
field dominance: automatic
average daTA RATE: 5 (MBPS)
MAXIMUM DATA RATE: 7.5 (MBPS)Could you tell me the steps I would need to do — to do something like this
2. I have a video (quicktime mov) which is a Pal format: 720 x 576
they have asked me to give it in a ntsc format — both as 4:3 and 16:9
in NTSC format .
how would i do this if I was to export it as a quicktime movie as a 4:3 and 16:9 —
please help
what settings would I set to make it in a ntsc formatCheers

Going from PAL to NTSC is more complicated than changing from mov to mpeg-2. I’ve always used the Natress standards conversion software. https://www.nattress.com/Products/standardsconversion/standardsconversion.htm I believe Compressor can do standards conversion, but I’ve never tried it, and I’ve read it’s not as good as Nattress. Once you have the NTSC 4×3 mov you’ll have to drop it in a 16×9 timeline and then zoom in to fill the frame. Doing this will cause the image to soften. I’d do the initial conversion to ProRes.
