NTSC HD DVD timeline for Greece…the country – Change to PAL??
Greetings,
Have a client that I filed a baptism for that wants a few DVDs of the event for Greece. I know that is PAL land. I filed on my GH2, so I have an AVCHD timeline of HD 1080- 24p. In order to convert it for PAL DVD, is it as simple as changing the timeline and render settings? Or is there something else? Never been asked to change for a PAL DVD, so just wanted to be sure I did this right as I will have no way to test it once the disk is burned.Can you help a brother out?

I found this thread from Mike that answered my question. Which means I answered my own post. Alright!

I don’t believe you have to change your project properties in Vegas Pro as the post suggests. Just use the PAL render template. If you see any ghosting in the image from the frame rate difference then you’ll need to take additional steps to remove it but try just rendering for PAL and using a PAL project in DVD Architect.

Thanks John. That was my first hunch, just needed someone else to back it up. 🙂

My understanding is that you can supply NTSC DVD’s into PAL land.
Our PAL players handle NTSC & PAL. No need for further work.Your problems come supplying PAL DVD’s to NTSC land. Most players there will not handle PAL (historic reasons). You must supply NTSC into NTSC land.

When my client insist on a PAL version of an NTSC program I’ve completed, I just make another DVD using DVD architect and set the properties to PAL. The only reason I’ve ever had to go back to Vegas was to render PAL subtitles for the PAL version of the DVD. For some reason the NTSC subtitles are too long to fit on the screen sometimes.
DVD architect will re-render the video titles on the DVD to PAL standard and burn a PAL version of the same program.
Don’t know if I could possibly get better quality rendering a new .m2v file in Vegas for the PAL dvd, but the PAL DVD plays fine on my PC, produces PAL standard video and won’t play on any of my NTSC DVD players. Couldn’t be simpler.
And I’m sure all this is completely un-necessary because NTSC DVDs typically play fine on European players and TV sets. Having said that, give the client what they ask for and be sure to add it to the bill.
