    I have a client who wants me to capture a PAL DVD and edit it for him. Any one have quick ideas on how to accomplish this? Does Vegas 7 do any kind of PAL to NTSC conversion?

    Hi,

    Instead of capturing import that DVD.
    (This is the thing I never did myself, but I assume it should work :))

    Then set up your project as PAL, and render your video as PAL. Maybe you will have to play around with pan/crop as PAL differs in resolution from NTSC.

    I live in PAL country, succesfully converted my PAL DV to NTSC DV.

    If i setup my project as PAL, can I render it as NTSC? My goal is to get the master DVD into NTSC format, then be able to edit it and release it here in the US

    [Rick Rintala] “If i setup my project as PAL, can I render it as NTSC?”

    Why not?

    You can render it with “render as…” as anything.
    But I’d set up my project as NTSC, and get the PAL footage on the timeline and do the edit as usual.

    do it all the time.

    edit in original format (in my case all flavours of pal) with properties set to original material, then render out to whatever; ntsc, mp4, etc.,

    have no idea how it will look working from a dvd, which is already compressed, just remember to use import function to bring it in.
