Rennie, thank you for your answer !
We managed to get the original MiniDvs and made copies.
These were NTSC MiniDVs and we copied them using two cameras. To reproduce we used a small consumer NTSC Panasonic cam connected via firewire to a Sony PD170 PAL. It seemed to have worked fine. Do you think this is an ‘orthodox enough’ way to make the NTSC to PAL conversion?
Cheers
