Andy, Most sessions I've seen convert fairly cleanly from NTSC to PAL - one BIG gotcha is to make sure your monitors are set up properly in both NTSC and PAL. The lack of pedestal in PAL makes a dramatic change in the look if the monitor doesn't compensate. Remember that black is black - whether it is 7.5 in NTSC or 0 in PAL the monitor should look the same. Rich Torpey
