Hello,

I am looking for the optimal workflow with the DVCPRO HD. Footage later to be converted to PAL, Probably will work onsite with a laptop with Final Cut Studio 2.x Final cut pro 5.something and DVD studio pro. I'd like to keep the pictures to be smooth as possible.

What is optimal method for:
shooting frame rate type,
and
down convert HD material to PAL SD

I am to shoot some footage on a NTSC HVX200, in HD, the editing will be done in DVCPRO HD format, the artist/director will do a lot of crops and resize of footage in Post. But the final output will be a PAL DVD.

Thanks in advance!
Takeshi

You know that any PAL DVD player will display an NTSC DVD- right?

Is that a smooth image playout?
>any PAL DVD player
Does that mean "ALL PAL DVD players?"
