NTSC avi convert to PAL

[demalibu]

Hi everyone,
I havn't seen this thread so does anyone know if it's possible within Premiere, either PE4 or Pro to bring in an NTSC AVI and export as a PAL edit.
I know you can standards convert if you have the equipment - but anyone have an idea or a plug-in thats avaialble.
Someone on another forum mentioned avisynth??
I'm buying a small flash surfcam thats records 30fps avi and I live in a PAL dictatorship.
Thanks

That's a very tough conversion and one that's not done easily in Premiere Elements -- particularly since flash-based camcorders often use unusual codecs for compressing their video.

See if you can convert it to a DV-AVI with either Prizm or Super.

Do you really need to convert to PAL? How do you intend to view the final export?

Are you going to be burning a DVD? If so then I can understand why you want to edit in PAL. However if you will view on a computer there is no need to.

I'll be burning the edited master to DVD, and uploading also as wmv and quicktime.
