NTSC to PAL

[Lars Director]

I’ve never seen any piece of software that made a decent norm translation. I say, spend a few bucks in a place where the proper hardware is avalable to do it realtime and picture perfect. Saves time and dissapointing results / clients.

Cheers, Lars

In NTSC timeline export your video to bmp/tga/iff frames ( with some deinterlace filter and rescale to pal res filters/plugins ). After that import that frames in to PAL time line. This is good enough for preview and short clips, ( usualy audio is out of sync…so you have to fix it also) but real time hardware solution is the best, I agree.

Alchemist from Snell & Wilcox is probably the best hardware solution.

yeah, i just used it for a film, it looks great and the audio is still in sync!

Amen to that. The Alchemist Platinum is their most expensive version, but offers the highest quality.

This is not a box anyone will buy unless they have a good chunk of work for it, but there are plenty of companies worldwide that are happy to offer its high performance conversion as a service.

I don’t think they spared any expense in making this the best converter possible.

o wonder what kind of vodoo happens to the images when transferred…. cant be rocket science aslong thez arent using motion analysis on a larger scale.
