Converting to PAL from 1080p

I'm about to start on a short, somewhat animated sequence in HD. The final output will be NTSC dvd, PAL dvd, and HD 1080 24p or 30p for download. I don't care what frame rate the original sequence is at whether it's 24p or 30p, I just want it to be in a frame rate that is easiest and best to convert to PAL. I will be using Compressor to do the conversion and compression.
What frame rate should I use for the original sequence?

29.97 is your choice.
Open Compressor,
reading through the menu of the settings tab (standard definition folder) you can see it by yourself.
I have a link for you for more details about setting a potentially good conversion:

Good luck,

  • NTSC DVD created with iMovie 6.0.3. Need to convert to PAL.

    Is there a way to do this without starting over? Can I switch iMovie from NTSC to PAL? Can I take my iMovie NTSC project and copy it to a new iMovie window after switching the preferences to PAL? Would that keep chapters in place? Can Toast or something do this? I sure hate to totally start over.

    Hi
    Please Karsten
    b) export your iMovie project; drag the resulting file into a new PAL IDVD project; iDVD will ask you to keep or change the standard
    IS NO GOOD WAY at all - It works but resulting DVD is barely viewable ! (jumpy, un-sharp and really bad)
    a) is an excellent choice as long as TV is fairly modern - else result will be Bl/W
    My notes on this:
    PAL to NTSC or NTSC to PAL
    A. Copying commercial DVDs - No Not possibly at all - Not even legal to discuss.
    B. Home made DVDs (DVDs without copy protection)
    C. Movies from iMovie or FinalCut
    • Save as full quality QuickTime .mov and convert this with JES_Deinterlacer  (free on internet)
    NTSC ---> PAL.
    • Most often not necessary - Most stand alone PAL DVD-players playback NTSC
    (if TV is old in BL/W)
    PAL ---> NTSC.
    • If played on Mac - not necessary AT ALL
    • If on NTSC DVD-player - CONVERSION IS NEEDED - nearly no Stand alone NTSC-DVD-players
    playback PAL at all.
    To do this You need to convert the PAL DVD to streaming.DV or full quality QuickTime .mov
    • I use Roxio Toast™ to do this (There are no free converter)
    • JES_Deinterlacer  (free on internet) to convert to NTSC
    • Set up an NTSC project (29.97fps or 30) in iDVD and import then burn
    I burn to
    • Verbatim DVD-R
    • Set down burn speed in iDVD to x1 or x4 recommended by many
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk before burning (IMPORTANT)
    PAL is 25 fps and an analog TV standard of 625 lines
    NTSC is 29.97 fps and 520 lines
    NTSC (29.97fps) 520 lines - about 640x480 pixels (square) 720x480 rectangular (narrow) pixels
    PAL  (25 fps)   625   lines - about 768x576 pixels (square) 720x576 rectangular (narrow) pixels
    to use a photo 702x480 resp 576 then add 9 pixels on each side to add together as 720
    If iDVD hangs on PAL or NTSC.

    Deleting iDVD pref. file - should return You into NTSC mode.
    Yes iDVD can switch to PAL - BUT as You see with a rather lousy result.
    a. Need to convert to PAL - most often not - Most PAL-player can playback NTSC
    and on a fairly new TV in color. (old TV in Bl/W)
    (Other way around - from PAL to NTSC most often a must - few NTSC-player can use PAL)
    b. IF MUST - then use JES_Deinterlacer to do this conversion - so much better and free.
    My list on this (or rather PAL --> NTSC - just think the other way around)
    I have to send it overseas
    That too can be a problem. As USA = NTSC = 29.97fps and EU = PAL = 25fps.
    DO Not let iMovie or iDVD do this conversion from one to the other - Result will be Very
    BAD
    I save the movie as a full quality QuickTime .mov file then I use JES_Deinterlacer to do the conversion - then I cont. in iMovie or iDVD with project set accordingly.
    JES_Deinterlacer is free on Internet and there are Pro applications but not that much better and costs are astronomical.
    PAL-DVDs - don't play in US
    NTSC-DVDs - usually plays well in EU
    All plays well on a Mac - What ever.

    Thank you SDMacuser. I dumped all the plist icons with no result, and was getting pretty plist off when it occurred to me to delete all the previous dvd.proj files. Bingo. That did the trick. So thank you for all your help and the additional information you provided.

  • I have an AT&T iphone 6 and want to give my AT&T 4 to my wife but she is a Sprint customer.  How involved would it be to convert my 4 from AT&T to Sprint?

    I Have an AT&T iPhone 6 and wants to give my AT&T 4 to my wife but she is a Sprint customer.  Is this possible and, if so, how involved is it to convert my 4 from AT&T to Sprint?

    Likely not possible.
    Sprint is a CDMA carrier which typically do not support BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) .
    You will have to ask Sprint if they can offer service on a unlocked GSM Phone that does not have the CDMA chip.
    Its unlikely they will though.  But if they do, you will need to request AT&T unlock your iPhone so you can insert a Sim card form another carrier into it

    how can i convert video files from my mac to watch them on my iphone?, how can i convert video files to watch them on my iphone?

    Turns out the answer to that question changes if you ask it more than 4 times, so ask it again....
    The answer depends on the type of video files you want to convert.  If they are DRM protected commercial videos, no help can be given here.  Google.

  • How can i convert the data from mutiple-table to the other database(MSSQL)?

    Dears,
    How can i convert the data from mutiple-table to the other database such as MS-SQL?
    I have a third party system based on MS-SQL 2000.
    Now we want to make a integration between SAP R/3(Oracle) and SQL server.
    When my user releases the purchase order in R/3, the application we coded will convert the releated data to the temp database on the SQL server.
    But i don't know which tools will help me reach the purpose.  BAPI, LSMW, IDoc... ???
    Would anybody tell me which way is better and how to do?
    Thanks a lot!
    Kevin Wang

    Hello Kevin,
    The question to use which method depend on your detail requirements. If you use BAPI, you need to find which Bapi can provide the data you want. Bapi normally use as a function called by external system. So you need to develop an external program like VB/Java to call this Bapi and move it to SQL. LSMW is use when you want to upload data from an external system to SAP. So it does not serve your requirement. Idoc can be use to export data to an external system. Again like Bapi, you need to find what Idoc can provide the data you want. However, it does not any programming from the external system. If I were you, based on your requirements, I think writing an Abap program that read the data you want and download it to NT/SQL server will be faster and easier.

  • Error in converting exchange rate from  to AED

    Dear All,
    When creating sales order I am receiving following error: Condition ZPRS: Error in converting exchange rate from  to AED.
    Such a error I am receiving when in material - there is not mantained delivery plant but this is not this case.

    ??? any ideas ???
    many thanks for any brainstorming...
    Brgds. MIchal

    Dear Michal Duris      ,
    Have you maintained the currency conversion factors
    Check the following tcode
    OBBS
    OB08
    Compare between the production server and server in which there is no error (CHOOSE YOUR EXCHANGE RATE TYPE / DOCUMENT CURRENCY AND LOCAL CURRENCY )
    Check and revert back.
    If its not solved, please provide the error message number.

  • When I converted a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How can I solve this problem?

    When I tried to convert a file from PDF to WORD.DOC it opened as Read Only and I'm unable to alter any of the text.  How do I solve this problem?  I don't know how to change it from Read Only.

    Dear Sara
    Thank you very much for sending the converted file.  Yes, I am able to edit it - that will be very useful to me and I appreciate your help.
    Referring to your previous message when you said you'd converted via Acrobat and not Acrobat.com, I'm converting via Acrobat.com because that's the only option that is shown (how do I convert via Acrobat? - perhaps that would be more successful).  I'm using the Export PDF website, and the OCR is enabled to "Recognize text in English UK".  However, I've just tried converting a different LPA pdf form, this time for Health & Welfare https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/245571/LPA114_He alth_welfare_LPA.pdf and again I have the same problem as before.  I've altered it from "Read only" and thought I'd then be able to enter text, but "Drawing Tools" is shown in the pane and I'm unable to enter anything onto the form - everything appears to be in images.  Also, the lettering on the heading of' page 1 has become jumbled, with the word "Public" overlaying the word "Guardian."  Any suggestions as to what it is I'm doing wrong would be welcome - I don't like to be beaten!
    Regards,
    Judith.

  • Why does choosing "convert to PDF" from a Word Doc's context menu bring up two Save As dialog boxes?

    I have a user that every time she chooses "Convert to PDF" from the context menu on a MS Word document she gets a Save As box, enters the name and location, clicks Save. Then Word starts and it brings up another Save As box and makes her enter the name and save location AGAIN. It does then create the PDF, but it is very annoying to her as she makes lots of PDFs for our board of directors (she is our CEO). I have tried it on other PCs that have a similar setup, but none have done this. They all just run the converter window after one dialog box. Please HELP

    Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on?  If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
    Does your user have a custom template?  Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
    Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat??  If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.

    Sorry, but no. The only Apple router with an audio output jack is the AirPort Express.

  • Can't convert to pdf from word

    my wife uses adobe acrobat 6.0 standard with office 2003. The problem is that she can't convert to pdf from word. it works fine with an excel doc. but not a word. I did update to 6.0.1 and still nothing. There is no error message and the word document opens but nothing happens.

    I have exactly the same problem. Everything was ok untill a couple of months ago then after some auto updates the pdf buttons were no longer displayed in the word documents when it is open and if you try to convert it to pdf either by dragging the word file onto Adobe or highlighting the file and right clicking on it then selecting 'convert to Adobe PDF' it doesn't work. It looks like it attempts to do it by opening the word document but then nothing else happens. The only way I have been able to get it to convert to pdf is to go into the word document, click on file then print then select Adobe PDF then save to location. This is just a complete pain to do all the time especially when I need to convert a whole load of files in one go.
    Obviously the auto updates have effected it somehow but I can't work out where.
    I've tried uninstalling Adobe the re-installing it but it makes no difference.
    I'm using Acrobat 6.0 Standard with Windows XP Professional 2002
