Output to NTSC minidv tape?

Question

I have a short film shot on minidv PAL I need to output to an NTSC minidv tape. Given that I am using Premier Pro 2 to edit, is it simply a matter of using any minidv tape but with the project saved as NTSC?? Then using firewire to camera to record the finished product?

The rules of a competition I am entering allow for NTSC dvd to preview, but exhibition entries must be on NTSC miniDV as a minimum requirement (the others are BetaSP etc. Yuk)

Answer 1

The tape itself doesn't care what format you use, but I've no idea what you'll get if you try outputting an NTSC video to a PAL camcorder.  My guess would be at best you'll get something that the camcorder can't play.  At worst it won't even write to the tape.

Good luck!
