Advice on editing and rendering to DVD, Sanyo HD2

Wondered whether any-one could please point me in the right direction.
I have a Sanyo HD2 camcorder using SD and SDHC cards, recording 720p HD 29.97 fps.
I can edit on Ulead's Videostudio 10+ and render to either mp2 Pal at 25 fps or NTSC at 29.97 fps.
The editing project I first tried, ran in PAL 25 fps ready I thought to render to PAL DVD. It did make a passable DVD but there was a slight jerkiness. I then tried converting the project to NTSC to make a DVD using Sony's Movie studio DVD authoring package, which again worked OK but has still left some jerkiness. ( Noticeable on pans for instance )
I'm now not sure if it was because I ran the project in PAL and converted back to NTSC that the NTSC DVD is similar to the PAL DVD.
Is it best to down convert from 720p at 29.97 straight to 480 lines at the start of a new project.
I was hoping to use Pal for DVD.
Thanks, Thomas.

Thomas,

Changing the frame rate is a difficult task for the software to do, and to do well. I’ve done a lot of converting PAL to NTSC in Sony Vegas and I’ve been happy with the result, but I haven’t done much the other way.

If you stick with 29.97 all the way and make a NTSC DVD, that will probably give you the best result. If you want to covert to 25 fps/PAL, then you could try different software and see if it works better.

Re: Advice on editing and rendering to DVD, Sanyo HD2

I had the same problem initially but now use moviefactory 6+ (I know its not the best) to create ntsc dvd's that are perfectly smooth .

The good thing about MF6 is you can export your movie's/slideshows as DIVX-HD , HD-MPEG2 or WMV-HD thus keeping the true 720p resolution. I make an SD DVD to take to friends who dont have a pc but view all my footage through my HTPC in 720p, my recent holiday videos look superb even after they have been re-encoded to DIVX-HD (720p 8000kbps).
