Timing PAL audio track exactly to NTSC video?

Author

Would there happen to be a program or application to edit a PAL audio track so it matches with the exact timeframe to NTSC video? I'll be testing out Adobe Premiere Pro soon.

This is for QUANTUM LEAP NTSC 2.0 project.

Was Quantum Leap shot on film or video? If it's from film, and the audio has been sped up to go from 24fps to PAL's 25fps, then it's a simple case to slow it down to match NTSC's 23.976fps (for telecined film with 3:2 pulldown).

There's a variety of programs that can do this: VirtualDub and AviSynth in the video world (Premier Pro can probably do this too), or an audio editor like Sound Forge or Audacity. There's also a simple little command line program called SoundTouch that I've used before.

On the other hand, if it's video, then it depends how the conversion was carried out. It may be the case that audio durations match anyway.

Quantum Leap was shot on film. I just have the audio from a PAL source which I'd like to synchronize to the NTSC video source and then redo it as a DVD ISO. On Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit because fuck Apple.

I used AVS Audio Editor and messed about with the timing but they only use percentages.

Do you have the PAL video to go with it? It would help a lot to make sure that the frame counts are the same as the NTSC source.
