Rendering in PAL

[Martin Phillips]

A lot of DVD players are switchable. Also, if you are using a vegas pal template (with out changing it) it should be fine.

If possible, shoot 24p.

Just shoot as normal if you are in NTSC land.
Do the conversion in post.

Edit and cut to your hearts delight and save as a .avi file, in NTSC format. Then re-import the file onto the timeline, changing Vegas’ preferences to PAL (either 16;9 or 4×3 depending on what you shot).

When you do this change the custom control to 8Mbps variable bit rate, two pass.

Then change DVDA presets to that of Vegas (eg PAL Widescreen) and toast to disc from there.

As a general rule of thumb, if you DONT hear from the client, everything went OK.
