making PAL DVD's

I capture video from my NTSC DV camera, edit it in Moviemaker 2, output a
NTSC DV-AVI file, import it into Roxio DVD Builder and burn NTSC DVD's
without any problems.

I want to create a few PAL DVD's to send to India. Can I use the same
DV-AVI files I created above, import into DVD Builder, toggle the
Preferences to PAL in DVD Builder and burn PAL DVD's?

Or will I have to regenerate my source AVI's in PAL versions of DV-AVI
files?

Some have suggested that because of differences in frame rate and
resolution, I should re-generate my AVI's in the PAL format. If the source
is NTSC (my DV camcorder), should I switch MM2 to PAL format

a) before capturing from camcorder or

b) before final rendering by MM2?

Thanks.

I asked a friend who makes PAL DVDs from time to time for family, he says

"
Tape is NTSC DV.

Capture as NTSC DV (or WMV).

Edit in Movie Maker.

Save out as Windows Media Video (the profiles are all deinterlaced).

Burn a PAL DVD using this source file.
"

If that doesn't work, (maybe your DVD app doesn't take WMV) bring the WMV
file into Movie Maker,
change MM to PAL and save it back out as a PAL DV AVI file.
Now try burning that.

i.e. To do frame rate and size conversion you need to deinterlace first,
MM does this whenever you create a WMV file.
