    PAL DVD from NTSC video

      I am doing a project pro bono for a friend of video I shot for him at his daughter's 4th birthday.  They want to send the DVD to Russia for the grandparents to see.

       

      This is the first PAL DVD I have attempted with Encore CS4 using NTSC footage.  Here is the workflow proposed in hopes to get a properly formatted and viewable DVD.

       

      Open a new PAL Encore project, then using the dynamic link, bring in the NTSC edited video.

       

      The menu I used in the NTSC version of the DVD for the parents used a 4:3 NTSC frame which I saved as a menu and will import to the PAL project to avoid having to create it again (which contatined about 12 buttons for selecting various shots).

       

      There is no PAL menu in Encore so I am wondering if the NTSC menu will be stretched when viewed in PAL.

       

      More imporntantly, I am wondering if the video will be re-sized correctly in the PAL Encore project, since I have no way to test it.

       

      Would very much appreciate input on this effort.

       

      Thanks!!
