you can even convert to 4:3 aspect ratio if you want. but you cant pop a pal tape into a ntsc built vcr or vidcam. I dont know about pal on dvd but the if you are authoring the dvd then the regional encoding would be the only thing keeping it from playing on a us vcr.
im guessing what you want to do is capture pal and output to vhs/dvd for ntsc format - should be able to do that, just when you encode to mpeg2 (dvd) change the output to ntsc standard - aspect ratio, lines of res, etc ... for vhs if your going to vhs straight from the puter should work fine. do a small test.
the one thing i know wont work is popping a pal tape into an ntsc cam. but if you put the pc/mac in the middle should be able to output in ntsc format when compressing/rendering.
