Capturing PAL with an NTSC deck/camera
Alright, this may be a stupid question, but I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere.
Here goes - Is it possible to use an NTSC deck or camera to capture/view, via firewire, mini DV footage shot on a PAL camera? If so, is there any difference or quality loss in picture? Thanks! |

Sorry Jaz, there is no way to use NTSC gear to view PAL video. You must use a PAL deck or camcorder to view PAL video. Hope this helps,

Which deck did you have in mind? You would have to check it's features. I don't know of any models that can, but perhaps some exist.
I don't believe there are any cams that can do this. |

I've done this several times with my sony dsr 11. It automatically switches itself to PAL mode when a PAL formatted tape is inserted. You'll need a PAL compatible monitor to view the footage though. There isn't any loss in quality as far as I know.

Thanks, Corey, but can you upload PAL footage to it?

Oops, my statement above may have been a bit too bold and sweeping. Corey is absolutely right about the Sony DSR-11's ability to switch between PAL and NTSC. Just make sure you have a PAL monitor to view it!

Yes you can print PAL footage to tape... there's a switch on the back of it so you can set it to PAL and it acts just like a regular PAL deck, same thing goes for NTSC.
