    you might not have much of a choice. You’re capturing DV? 420 is PAL and 411 is NTSC.

    not true, you can have 411PAL and 420 PAL, so I assume that both are available in NTSC too.

    We used to use DVCPRO (411) and now use DVCAM (420) I am not too technical about this but believe they’re just different compression formats.

    Hope that helps somehow!
