Tradition, I guess. Not everyone is using HDMI from the dvd player, so some people may be going into a PAL crt TV via a scart socket, so I think it’s a case of maintaining consumer expectations of the tech infrastructure(s) already in place. I may be wrong, but I don’t think all dvd players in use are multi-standard or multi-region.
Personally, I opt for NTSC because I try to avoid the PAL speedup thing on dvds, but there’s not really anything in it. I think it was considered more of a big deal quality-wise in the professional analogue world of yesterday.
There might be something in the small print of trading standards legislation, in that I have never seen an NTSC disc openly on sale in a store in the UK, so if you do go NTSC, some sort of disclaimer “This disc might not be compatible with some…etc” Just my random thoughts. Good luck with your project.

That makes perfect sense to me, and I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks.

Thanks for your response John (and Bob). I used screen capture software called Camtasia which captured 1280×1024 at 30p. The active video was 1280×720 so there are black bars on the top and bottom. In Vegas I rendered a small chunk to a 1280×720 without cropping (now additionally giving black bars on the sides).
I opened the result in Edius with zebras enabled. Some pixels in the image and top/bottom black bars came up out of range and the black bars on the sides were completely stripy.
Now using the Conservative setting as you suggested has cleaned up all of the active video image, but parts of the black bars are still showing out of range. I can solve this by processing just the image to 720p, but I found it an odd result (in case of broadcast work in the future), which made me wonder.
Vegas strikes me as a great editor that could deal with a feature film by just one guy. I admit I need to delve further, but I was interested if anyone had any further views.

I may well have to grab one, especially since the price has dropped with the announcement of HF G20. Sincerest thanks.

Scott, I’m glad it got solved. May I ask a question – the Canon HF G10 had good reviews, how do you find working with it ?

Hi Rueben, cult films! Do you have a link?

Actually, maybe this should be the link (sorry, I’ll get there eventually!)

Be quick and look on the righthand side of the Cow homepage !
The Recent Blogs feature “Videoguys DIY 9.5 – Hex Core Adobe CS6 Workstation” which deals exactly with your requirements.
The Videoguys DIY builds are always good to get an idea of things, but you can chop and change as you wish. Otherwise here is the link.https://www.videoguys.com/Guide/E/Videoguys+DIY9+Its+Time+for+Sandy+Bridge+E...
Good luck.

Hi David,
What type of usuage licence did you have (eg working on more than one machine), and do you know how transfer of ownership and upgrades work with the Foundry? Many thanks.
