The tape was mailed to me from a friend in France. That's why it is PAL. When all is done I will author the content to a compliant PAL DVD. But I want to do some cleanup and color correction, etc before I convert to MPEG. I have some of the material on a MPEG DVD already but obviously I cannot to that stuff to the files since they have already been converted to mpeg. So I asked my friend to capture his original VHS tape to a DV medium. He doesn't have the PC resources otherwise I would have had him give me the files on DVD. This was my only way to get the stuff from him in DV format.
