So many places just do simple software conversions - basically
rerendering in a standard NLE.
If you edited the project yourself then quite honestly you may as well
convert it yourself, too.
Try this...
Render your project to 23.976fps rather than 29.97fps. This will
dramatically cut down the amount of juddering, especially if there's a
lot of fast moving action.
Better still, make a copy of the project and change the properties of
the copy to 23.976fps and then go right through the whole thing making
certain every cut is a full-frame cut on the new timeline rather than a
cut that traverses into two different frames. Now every cut will be
perfect rather than there being very quick cross-fades occasionally.
As for the text, if it was created in the editor then it will work
perfectly in your new project. If, however, you created them in
something like After Effects, then you just do the same as you did with
your project - make a copy, set it to 23.976fps, change the width and
height settings and render NTSC versions of your text that you then
insert into your new project.
As for whether or not only having a PAL version of your DVD will affect
your sales in the US, the answer is an absolute yes!
