I have a SONY DVR 280 model digital, can read both NTSC and PAL, although it can record only NTSC, it was bought in USA. If i insert a digital8 PAL recorded tape, it will play the tape absolutly fine, only that it will show a PAL logo on one of the corners. I cant capture this footage on adobe even thought i tried all kind of different projects... even if i choose PAL 23.976fps as project type. the digital camcorder is connected with firewire. The footage will play normaly on the camcorder while adobe is showing black picture. ..waht could be wrong??? 10x in advance
when you import your footage try to capture in the ntsc formate, after you edit your movie and come to burn to disc you can choose to output to pal. this should work ok as i have done it a few times. hope this helps
