switch from NTSC to PAL
I need some help!!!
I made a movie with imovie using NTSC for myself, now I want to make a copy for my family in France, that means I need to switch to PAL. How can I do that without opening a new project with PAL and remake the whole movie.
Let me tell you what I already try to do:
- export my movie to quicktime to quicktime then expert settings with DVCPRO-PAL. The result is very bad quality
- open new project, select pal in preference and drag or import my movie . The result is "error-40".
Please if you have any suggestion I take it
thank you

afaik, ALL european dvd players are able to play back ntsc dvds - so, best would be, make dvd of your imovie, let the player hardware do the conversion.
Most all DVD players in Europe will play NTSC discs.
Phone and check with the person you are sending the disc to if they know whether their DVD player can play NTSC discs (check the set up menu of the player).
You would only encounter problems if you were sending a VHS video over to France to be viewed as they use a TV standard called SECAM, although a lot of VCRs are now dual format.
thank you

Thank you for your help guys, I have one more question, when I will create a new project iDVD for my NTSC movie should I change the preference to PAL or leave it with NTSC?
thank you
I would keep it the same as the original source. If it started NTSC, leave it NTSC.
this is your friend drew.
i told you to come to this board because the people here are very smart.
i hope you use this board in the future.

I'd like to know if anybody use this MP3 player "GoDot MP3 Player M5112" and your opinion about this product.
Thank you.

it only does PAL > NTSC at the moment (and seems to work well) but they say they're working on the other way round.
