It is easy man, i am from argentina, here everything is Pal except for the dvds.
I usually work with FireStore DvStandars Converter, and i use the matrox dv codec cause ive got a rtx100 matrox card.
This Software for DV Pal/Ntsc Ntsc/Pal conversions is easy to find………
Then use the Premiere Pro, by creatin’ any DV Pal project and import the new Pal .avi file into this project… now u just have to use adobe premiere’s encoder to convert the timeline into a m2v file.
Then you just import it to Encore.
Anyway… I found Canopus ProCoder wors than FireStore Dv… doing Pal/Ntsc or Ntsc/Pal convertions, but this is the best Mpeg encoder of all, and much much much more better than Premiere’s Encoder.
I hope this help
And sorry for my english i know it is not very good lol
merci beaucoup…
