Hi - I've used Premiere Pro 1.5 on Windows XP to edit my first film. 
 It was filmed and edited in 16:9 so I've exported to AVI format and
 imported that into a new letterboxed 4:3 project, suitable for
 distribution to friends and sponsors who don't have widescreen TVs.
 
 I want to send a copy to a friend in the USA (I'm in Australia - PAL
 system). I don't need to make a DVD-VIDEO, just an AVI file to play on
 the computer will be fine.
 
 PP's export->movie options include a choice to use a DV-PAL compressor,
 or a DV-NTSC compressor. The only difference it seems to make is to
 change the frame rate from 25 to 29.97 (I think). Presumably it's going
 to duplicate some frames and perform other magic. Do I need to use the
 DV-NTSC option if it's only going to be viewed on a computer (in the
 USA), or can I just leave it at DV-PAL?
 
 I'll get around to making an NTSC DVD-VIDEO some other time...
