I'm finishing up a couple of projects using Vegas Studio & I'm putting together DVDs for them using DVD Architect. I've been using a PAL Lagarith AVI for my sources, and have output a PAL m2v & ac3 file that DVD Architect is quite happy with.
However, when I've rendered an NTSC m2v from Vegas the length is the same as the PAL version. Which I don't understand. I have a short clip that I've rendered separately as an extra and the NTSC-rendered version seems to have some glitching (I haven't seen it yet in the NTSC render from the main movie, but haven't checked it extensively yet).
I've read boon23's guides on PAL-NTSC conversion and I'm entirely prepared to accept that the approach I'm trying won't work without substantial losses, but I figured I'd post the question since the guides I've seen are all 5+ years old and thus it's possible that the conversion engine in Vegas has improved. Basically I don't want to have to create a new NTSC-friendly sourcefile and recreate the edit, so I'm trying to figure out whether it's possible to convert the end product without a noticeable quality drop - and if so, how to do it.
