Mixing NTSC and PAL

Hi,
We are trying to make a PAL DVD,
the video sources used to create the videos are:
NTSC 29.97i and PAL 25i from dv sources.
Both camrecorder were recording the same event, and so we need to get the 2 synchronized and mix them together.

If I drop the PAL and NTSC videos into a PAL vegas project,
the 2 videos get out of sync..
If I drop them into an NTSC project they stay in sync,
but I think that there is some loss that occurs for the PAL video because of the multiple conversions ?
PAL video into an NTSC project => render as PAL MpegII

I'm not sure to understand what are the different implicit conversions that are beeing made on the videos in the case of the NTSC project and PAL project.
Or if there is a solution to get the PAL project to work and have the 2 videos stay in sync.
Or what are the recommanded settings / project type etc.. to get PAL and NTSC videos mixed together ?
Would making the dvd in NTSC instead of PAL , help ?

thanks
