2 delivery standards from one shoot

[vegasarian]

I have to supply both NTSC and PAL DVD's for a client. I have a ZI so can shoot in HD 60i or 50i . Cant decide the best way to do this. I'm in PAL land, not that that matters.
1. Shoot in HD PAL and down convert and standard convert to NTSC MPEG in Vegas.
2. Shoot in HD NTSC and down convert to NTSC MPEG and let the PAL punters watch an NTSC disc on a PAL player.
3. Dont shoot in HD at all.

Any thoughts?

The shoot is on sunday.

rent a spare cam and shoot both at the same time?

There would be notable differences that would inevetably cause issues later when the client was comparing the two.


Your option 2 isnt really an option if you have been told to supply a PAL and NTSC version. If you give them an NTSC version and say 'this will work in your PAL players' they'll most likey think you couldnt be bothered to do the job properly and opted for a cop-out option.

Just my opinion on clients POV.
