Hi Guys, I'm trying to solve a problem which under normal circumstances I'd fix with cash.
I've got a Digi-Beta master of my movie, which was shot PAL and I want to show the movie to agents and other interested parties in the US.
I can't afford to convert the tape to NTSC and then also pay to have the film encoded for a run of DVDs. In the UK that's going to cost me about $900
However, I thought that if I imported the film into Final Cut I could export it as a QT file and then use the QT video to burn DVDR's. Does anyone know whether that will get around the PAL/NTSC issue?
I know it's less than ideal, but at the moment I'm open to any idea that gets the job done cheaply.
