PAL to MPEG convertor
 
Looking for a PAL to MPEG, or even a PAL to NTSC convertor. Don't ask why. :)

Note: Not software, a hardware box to do this.

Realtime PAL to MPEG:

Realtime digital PAL to NTSC:

Just make sure you get a decent digital converter, and not one of the cheapy analogue ones.

Oh, and FWIW, the Plextor is available here at Tigerdirecgt for $149

Thank you Scott -- I knew I could rely on you (don't you ever sleep? :) ).

Sleep is for the weak.

Tmpgenc is an expensive transcoder that will handle PAL and produce the highest quality mpegs of any software solution priced under $1,000.

How about the other way - Can anyone recommend a good NTSC to PAL converter?

But isn't that a software solution? the OP asked for a hardware solution....

A REALLY good one is this one:

It also has a built in time base corrector, something you'll usually end up needing if you plan on going from device to device.

Ooops, you're right. I misread the post.

I still do agree with you though, that is one of the best encoders there is.
