Thanks for that Roy. Too late now to try though, as the conversion is on
the mail :)
I have been looking further in this, and came with two solutions:
Canopus Procoder can do PAL to NTSC, but there seems to be a bug in the
current software, and Canopus is working on a patch. There are no controls
to set the type of conversion (frameblending, motion interpolation etc).
The results didn't look too bad though, even with the bug (which seems to
have to do with blocks in frames, which I didn't have).
Another program I tried, was Firestore's DV Conversion Suite. With this one
you can select the type of conversion (frameblending, duplication, pulldown
scheme, interpolation). The results didn't look too bad either, but the
software is still a work in progress (as the helpfile says), and for
instance the interpolation can sometimes lead to strange results.
Sorensen Squeeze's output was really abysmal, so that one is rejected.
There are plenty of other workaround, which work with a combination of
Virtualdub, TMPGenc, Virtualsynth and a few other's, and they require a
little bit of scripting. But my time was too short to try them.
