Yes you can - but to go back out to tape, you need a PAL camera or VCR.

I should explain my reason for this question. If I decide to convert my video to film then I would want to render in PAL since 25 fps is closer to film of 24 fps as opposed to NTSC which is 30 fps. I also want a product that can be distributed to a worldwide audience and not just the US and Canada NTSC regions. This why I would be interested in rendering my video in NTSC and PAL using Vegas. I realize my NTSC DVD player won't be able to play my PAL DVD but that's okay, I can get a PAL DVD player. Since I live in the US and use a NTSC DV Camera I was just wondering if I could then take the video and render it in both a NTSC and PAL formats? I'm also interested in Spots film look 24 fps render in Vegas but I realize I won't do that to video I may want to convert to film. Thanks for the info. This site rocks

If your goal is to go to film at 24fps then i wouldn't bother with a PAL render. That would involve resampling from 29.97 to 25, and then again from 25 to 24 when it's printed to film. This is two resamplings and that is just asking for trouble. Use the original 29.97 NTSC version when converting to film and it will only have to have the frame rate change once.

Couldn't 'ave said it better meself!!

In fact, if I was being totally honest . . I wouldn't have been able to have said it then either!!! - Hence my wish to know where DHolt was going with this . . . . Kellsie, you make things soooo simple . . thank you . .
