Hi again guys, long time not visited and posted here, I need some advise now on how to convert HD footage shot on HVX200 PAL version to NTSC(need to give it for DVD production in US). Additional info, my video editor working on Adobe Premier.

I purchased Atlantis and it is OK but not spectacular. Canopus is still one of the best

Just for your interest, I have been converting a 85 minute PAL production to NTSC via ProCoder 2 and so far it has taken well over 8 hours to convert 5 of the 8 chapters. I think it will take a further six hours to complete.

I am using the highest quality setting which can take 15 to 20 times longer, but the quality from my first tests showed that the NTSC conversion was nearly as good as the original PAL footage
