making a PAl DVD from NTSC material- quick question

musman wrote on 8/8/2004, 9:54 PM

I've rendered everything into PAL, so that's not an issue. What I'm wondering about is the background and other images I inserted in DVDA. They're all snapshots taken from the original NTSC movie. I did deinterlace them in photoshop before inserting them in DVDA if that makes a difference.
Anyway, I was just wondering if these images would cause any problems in PAL land. Anyone know?
Thanks ahead of time!

Can't see how they would... they are just bitmap images (jpeg, png)when you placed them into DVDA right? And... you have the project setup to be PAL format in DVDA as well?

Wow! Boy am I glad you posted that!!! I had no idea and had just had everything set to the default settings with my converted to Pal footage. I have never changed the properties before and if I hadn't then it would have burned to the NTSC setting. I'm thinking that wouldn't have worked.
Anyway, I really appreciate your help. It saved me from wasting a lot of time, money, and expectations.
