    I suppose this has been asked before but here goes anyway! I have an NTSC American Hi-8 Camcorder, I plan to get what I have filmed from this to my pc using a Hauppauge win tv Usb adapter. (it basically allows you to transfer vhs to dvd and watch tv on your pc) That should go all rosy when I get the Hauppauge thing. My question is this. Is it possible to convert NTSC to PAL using my PC? I plan to edit what I’ve filmed and remove undesirable stuff (add music possibly) Is their any software that would allow me to convert NTSC to PAL, If there is any free software that will allow me to this all the better. Any suggestions would be very welcome. If any body knows of any good editing software to cut out scenes, bleep bad language, etc would also be very helpful. Please recommend free and software that I’d have to buy.

    Mods, feel free to move this if necessary I know it might be a home entertainment thing (if i could search it'd probably have answered my questions but it is broken again) but what I’m really after is the software info.

    Thanking you in advance.

    Try VirtualDub. It has a variaty of filters. Import the video and save it as a raw AVI, then edit it and play it back on the PC, record the output onto your VCR.
    You can of course always create a DVD from it using TMPEG ENC.

    Yeah, VirtualDub in combination with the right filters can do anything with video.

    Don't expect particularly good results though. As far as I know it's not going to be a very frame-perfect conversion. This is because NTSC is 29.97 (I think) frames per second and PAL is 25. So f you think about it it's not gonna be perfectly smooth.
