Does anyone know if this can be doen and if so how easy is it to acieve. Also is there any difference from Movie Edit Pro 2013 Premium and the plus version as magix list both versions?

It is pretty simple with Movie Edit Pro. You make your project and when you export or burn, you choose if it will be a NTSC or PAL format.

There is a difference between Plus and the Premium, but not for anything related to burning a DVD or Blu-ray disc. It has more to do with content and add-ons.

Hi,

To add to John's answer, a lot depends on what you want to do as far as editing your video goes.  If you just want to do basic editing like cuts, transitions, and some basic titles, the MX version is pretty much fine.  If you think you want to use more advanced features either now or at some point in the future, do yourself a big favor and buy the Premium version.  Magix does not offer a upgrade path the way some other software companies do.  In other words if you buy the basic version and want more, you re-purchase the upgraded version.  Is this a really big deal?  Really not.  Most companies that offer a upgrade path ask you to pay extra to upgrade but it is really not worth the hassle of downlading new sofware and going through that whole process.

Buy the version that will meet your current and future needs, and you will be happy.

Good Luck,

George

Hi,

I use mostly NTSC but occasionally send a DVD to Europe, so I can tell you that the conversion to Pal plays fine in Europe so I see no reason why the NTSC conversion should have a problem.  I did have one Pal disc that dropped about 30 seconds of video so I had to burn it again so make sure you check it all the way through just to be safe.

I test my PAL DVDs on my computer to make sure there are no problems.  I am not sure if all PCs these days have region free DVD Players but mine does.

Good Luck,

George

Here is a screen shot showing how you can select the PAL format during the burning process.

This was found under the 'Encoding settings...' button, after selecting burn to DVD from the 'Burn' mode.
