- If you have a NTSC and a PAL VCR you can use the VLAB-Motion for
- doing this job. It is possible to record the NTSC (or PAL) video
- and save it as single jpeg pictures. Than you change your MovieShop
- project to PAL (or NTSC) and reimport the pictures using the
- PALtoNTSC or NTSCtoPAL AREXX script. This is scaling the video to
- the right size and correcting the number of frames per second by
- skipping or doubling some frames.
-
- This is not very fast of course, but a very cheap solution.
- In the next MovieShop version there will be an automatic
- PALtoNSCT (or NTSCtoPAL) conversion function which will be
- much faster but not in real time at all.
