I know this a very newbie question but this is my situation

I have a final veg file and i want to render it so that i can transfer the final product to my sony handy cam (using print to tape) and then connectiong it to the tv through rca cables and recording it on a tape, so that i can watch the tape in a pal tape player. is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

You can just render as PAL, from my tests applying"Reduce Interlace Flicker" to the media will give an improvment to the results.
However if your camera is an NTSC one it will not accept a PAL signal.

print to tape through digital to analog converter to the pal recorder, I think most converters are ntsc and pal. I think is the key word here.

Bear with me, I'm on the other side of the world!

You'll need something like the ADVC-100, just check the Canopus site, I'm pretty certain it'll do both PAL and NTSC.
If you need to capture from analogue sources for my money the ADVC-300 is a better box but it's around 50% more than the 100.

im very new at this but how does a device (ADVC-100) that Convert VHS, S-VHS, Hi8 and 8mm analog tapes to DV in one simple step using ADVC100. ADVC100 connects with all analog and DV video equipment and is compatible with editing systems for Windows and Mac OS.

going to help me convert ntsc to pal?

thank you!

It'll do an analogue to digital conversion for either NTSC or PAL. It will convert NTSC to PAL.
Say you had a PAL VHS tape to convert. Capture into Vegas via the 100 switched to PAL. Use Vegas to render out to new NTSC avi. Now switch 100 to NTSC and PTT out to VHS VCR.
Of course for this to work your VCR has to be able to play PAL and record NTSC.
Be very careful of one trap. Down here there's a lot of VCRs that will 'Play a NTSC tape on a PAL TV". They don't actually playout NTSC, they still playout at 60i but shift the color burst and hope the TV will cope. Except when that signal hits the ADVC-100 it cannot cope becuase the burts is wrong. Usually a VCR that'll play and record both formats will be able to playout true NTSC and PAL.

The JVC S-VHS machine I have does a good job on both.

If a tape player could play ntsc and record pal condnt you just connect an only ntsc vcr to a pal recorder and do it there, with no connection to the computer or the canopus device?
