NTSC to PAL & Beta SP/DVCAM

Hey All,

I've been reading search reults, but they aren't quite hitting the mark for me.

I need to send something to Europe in PAL on BetaSP or DVCAM. From what I've read here, converting NTSC to PAL is just a matter of choosing the PAL template.

Once I have that file, can I just transfer it to BetaSP or DVCam? Would it mess things up if I print to tape on my NTSC camera?

Thanks for any help - and if anyone is equiped to make such a transfer, let me know ($$$)

You will need a deck that is able to record in the PAL format, you can't simply render to PAL and then do a print to tape on a NTSC device, the result will be a NTSC video not PAL.

So if I have the .avi in PAL format on a DVDR, is there anyone out there who could do the print to tape for me? If so, let me know the price. Thanks.

I can do it for you but I'm in Australia, how soon do you need it?

Cost would be about AUD 25 plus media

If I get the job, the turnaround needs to be by Christmas (I may have some wiggle room on this), so it might have to be done in the UK, since that's where the client is.

I still don't know if I have it, so this may all be moot to begin with.

Thanks, and I'll be in touch if I need it done.
