60i to 24p, what is the best way to achieve

Ros wrote on 5/17/2005, 1:57 PM

I know I can render 60i video to 24p with project properties set to NTSC DV 24p (720x480; 23,976 fps) and rendering to avi NTSC DV 24p inserting 2332 pulldown in Vegas 6.

Altough, if I intend to make a DVD, should I still set the project properties to NTSC DV 24p and render straight to mpeg2 DVDA 24p NTSC video stream from Vegas 6? Will the end result be the same or I should render it into a 24p avi file first.

Could I also use my 24p avi file and have it rendered within DVDA, in the MAKE DVD Optimize section. If so, what frame rate should I select : 29,97 or 23,976?

At last, I own a PD-170, If I would like to print to tape, knowing that this camera won't handle 24p video, is there a way to convert my 24p avi video into a 29,97 60i video and still keeping the 24p motion.

Thanks,
Robert

http://www.vasst.com/resource.aspx?id=9d37ead7-6d9d-48f1-ade5-6111aba75c96 has a fairly lengthy tutorial explaining how to do this in Vegas6. There is also an older Vegas 4 version.

Spot is it my browser or does that articles format cut off the right side of the text?

Thanks Spot, I'll look into it, although I do have the same problem with my browser, the text is cut off on the right side of the page.

Thanks,

Now when I use Ultimate S to convert to 16:9, if I check the "24P" option it rerenders all the individual clips at 24p. It sounds to me like this is unneccessary with Vegas 6. Should I just leave the 24p option unchecked then manually set the properties to 24p?
