Q: How do I convert from PAL to NTSC in compressor?

I have a project I converted from mp4 file to Apple Pro Res to edit it in FCP.  I exported using Compressor and tried to import the files to DVD Studio Pro.  It said it can't put PAL files into an NTSC project.  I didn't even realize it was filmed in PAL (yes, I have the rights to use the footage).  How do I convert the files from PAL to put it into FCP...in Compressor?  If so, how?  Thanks for any help!

    Hi guys,

     

    So, I recently converted a video file (PAL 25frames per second, full HD file, ProresHQ) to a NTSC 720 x 480 29.97 frames per second.

     

    I now need to get it on the dvd! I can get the video on there but the sound was obviously converted to match the new retimed picture, but as a separate file which I can't seem to get on the dvd as well.

     

    Would you happen to know how I can get both the Dolby Digital ac3 file and video file on dvd together sync'd?

     

    Thank you in advance to anyone that can help!

    If you require full featured menus, you will need a separate authoring application – say Roxio Toast, Adobe Encore, or the discontinued iDVD (which is still available from on-line retailers as part of the boxed iLife suite. If you can get by with basic menus, use the Compressor built-in Create DVD preset and skip the separate authoring software. (Note: if you get iDVD, just output a self contained QuickTime file and let iDVD do the encoding and authoring; it will not work with the MPEG-2 format.
