  • PAL mgegs to NTSC mpegs

    Posted by Pmp-cep10 on August 22, 2007 at 8:37 pm

    Hello

    Fist of all I’m from Germany, so sorry for my bad english.

    Im working on a DVD project vor Europe, the US and Japan. I always gave the PAL mpgs awey to produce ntsc mggs out of it.
    Is there a way nice way to do that with the apple compressor?
    The sorce material is PAL uncompressed 10bit.
    My biggest problem is that i can’t really check the compressed files on a ntsc DVD player.

    Thanx a lot for the answer

    not Compressor but Cinema tools

    Use CT to shift the timebase to 23.98 and then let compress to mpeg.

    NTSC DVD players have no problem adding the pulldown to get to 29.97

    Thanx a lot

    I guess you just saved me some money

    Just to check if i got it right

    I open the PAL uncompressed in Cinematools and shift the timebase to 23.98 fps
    and then let the compressor do ntsc mpgs out of it. right!

    An editional question,
    this also works for Playstations and xboxes, i guess.
    We are doing a snowboardmove so our audience are kids.

    So how does that look visually (aspect ratio, resolution, black bars etc) compared to converting PAL>NTSC first before using Compressor for m2v transcoding?

    Cheers

    I’m actually in the opposite situation right now. I have a client here in the United States that wants his DVD to be viewed in Germany. I needed to know what format you use there, PAL right? Is there anything else I need to be concerned with other than PAL versus NTSC? Thank you and have a great day.

    The video looks supergood
    but the sound is way to slow. I don’t want to speed it up in so i went to a format change house

    If enybody knows a smart way to do it or maybe explain me how i can find a smart way around please let me know
