PAL to NTSC?

Post by pat3ot » Wed May 31, 2006 10:14 pm

Can Mediacoder convert PAL to NTSC? I have some videos that are in PAL format that I downloaded from Google Video, and I can't burn them to a DVD unless I convert them to NTSC.

This is the file I'm talking about (among others like it):

Hi.
Converting PAL to NTSC for DVD gives poor quality.
Pal is 25 fps while dvd is 29.98/30
You can convert PAL to NTSC for VCD but the result is less than good.

If you still want to do this, then to get all the specs have a look at:-
www.doom9.org under GUIDES.

I'll post all the different formats in 'Tips And Guides' a little later.
All the best
Charles.
