NTSC to PAL
Can I capture a finished NTSC.VOB file (Do not have the original M-PEG or .veg file) and simply drop it into Vegas and render to PAL without losing quality or sync??
Thanks..

You will loose quality because you are using an Mpeg2 to generate another Mpeg2.

Gary, if a person has an NTSC VCR tape and wanted to send it to Germany to be viewed on a PAL system, can one capture the VCR tape into Vegas and render it as PAL? I figured since there are hardware and software packages for converting, then this probably isn’t possible within Vegas alone. Is this correct?

BTW, this is an old home camcorder VCR tape…so no copyright infringments.

Yes, but you would need a PAL VCR to print to tape.

What if you burned it to DVD Gary and not to tape?

That would be much easier Ted, in fact if you mean a video DVD you may not even need to convert it, since most PAL DVD players will play NTSC.
If you mean sending data on a DVD, i.e. a PAL DV avi, then this is possible, but you’ll only get around 20 mins per disc.

If you burn it to DVD, burn it as NTSC, PAL-land DVD players and TVs have no problem with NTSC disks in general. Typically PAL-land people wouldn’t buy a player-TV combo that wouldn’t play the DVDs they buy at amazon.com.

Hi,
[Ted Snow] “if a person has an NTSC VCR tape and wanted to send it to Germany to be viewed on a PAL system,”
Absolutely no need to do anything,
any 4 head (and some of the 2 head) VCR’s have
NTSC playback on PAL TV option.So, if you send that ntsc tape over, playing it will not be
a problem.By(t)e
