Retriving PAL dub off my trv-22

[kelpdiver 2]

I'm finding this much harder than expected.

I copied video from a friend's European sony onto my camcorder using firewire. It plays fine on the camcorder, the screen aspect changes and it flags it as PAL.

Hook it up to my computer, and no joy. It always wants to presume it's NTSC, since the camcorder is. It seems like I need to set the video type to DVI-AV (PAL), but that's not an option I have. Tried with Movie Maker and 2 of the Ulead products. Some have options to check PAL vs NTSC, but doesn't have any effect. May be only for output?

I know that to get to this a TV format, I'm going to have to do a conversion, but I thought the computer would be more open minded! Can someone confirm it is possible, as well as any next steps to try?

I can't dump some ntsc video I have using my PAL camera either I use premiere pro. It plays fine on the PAL camera.

Therefore if someone knows how to fix this, both ways, much obliged

Or we'll send each other the tapes and burn them on dvd for one another

Should be pretty easy with Project Settings in Adobe - set input in PAL and output in NTCS (or vice versa). I would first import a movie in a new format before editing it to avoid conflict of formats.

Tried playing with the pal/ntsc settings, nope.

does it refuse to recognize the signal at all, or can you still capture but incorrectly?

Doesn't capture anything at all, no preview screen.

Just started browsing your link, there's a lot of info there maybe it'll help

no screen or black screen? does it see the camera at all? if not there is a chance that your Device Control settings in Capture window might be wrong
(I don't have an NTSC tape to play with at the moment, so it's all hit and miss...)
good luck

What I believe is happening is that it knows my camcorder is NTSC, so it ignores the software setting to PAL. I get a few really garbled frames and then it pops up a windows saying, WTF?

Simplest solution may prove to be plugging the source camera into my notebook, but seems like I ought to be able to do it this way.

Thanks for the link, will look into it.
