Converting PAL to NTSC wil the duration be longer?

[Rennie Klymyk]

Interesting, it would seem the original tapes were dvcam and they were laid back to ntsc dv would more than likely be the answer although Caropillar should have ended up with 6 tapes from 4 dvcam originals unless they were not full tapes.

I think the opposite. They recorded 4 MiniDV tapes (four hours) but now are recording as DVCam, so they need 5 tapes to fit 4hours.
