Yes, but of course the different framing causes issues. I don't want to hijaak this thread, so I will try to keep comments useful to this type of process.

With the PAL discs the framing is a little tighter (i.e. there are bits 'missing' from the extreme edges comapred to the NTSC discs) which leaves you with two choices.
1. Crop the frames to match the PAL versions
2. Use a soft rolloff matte (basically a 20px or so gradient) on all four sides to allow the resultant image to blend into the NTSC image to restore the edges.
I've tried both and sometimes option 2 works perfectly, other times it doesn't, if I was smarter option 2 would work more often I suspect.

And vbangle, to be fair, my drafts are *awful* and poor Zion and others have to spend a lot of time turning them into the professional looking articles that he produces.

My mum use to say 'you can't polish a turd', but Zion often surprises me!

Rune, I'd love to see your files and find out if you can feed the tracker to whatever the morpher/warper is in fusion to get better internal mapping between the two streams.
