I am UK based and normally work in PAL. I have used Final Cut Pro v5 and DVD Studio Pro v 4 quite a bit for making PAL DVDs and am pretty comfortable with the process.
But I now need to create an NTSC DVD and make copies to be played in the US. . The end product is a DVD, with a menu and twelve 1 - 2min chapters, to send to US clients so needs to look reasonable. I only have to run a few copies so will not be using a duplication/replication facility.
The source material is DVCAM PAL supplied to me as PAL MOVs.
How can I convert the material to NTSC and at what stage in the process do I do this?.
Will I need other software to convert and achieve a reasonable quality DVD?
Is there anyway I can test the final result to see if it is really NTSC?
