Hello--
I'm trying to upload an uncompressed quicktime of a music video for a British company; they need a PAL quicktime, uncompressed 8-Bit. I have a 720x486 uncompressed NTSC 8-Bit quicktime, digitized through a Kona Lhe card. Is there any way I can cross convert to PAL and still retain the Uncompressed codec?
Or you could lay it back off to tape and take it to a facility to be standards converted in realtime using dedicated hardware.

A lot of people ask for uncompressed when they don't really know what they are talking about. No point delivering uncompressed if it was shot on DV or HDV for example. Some people refer to uncompressed as 'not compressed any more than the original source'. Everything is compressed when compared to film.
8bit vs 10 or 12 bit, 4:2:2 vs 4:4:4 etc
Compressor is certainly capable of 'standards conversion' but the results will not compare to a 'standards converter', in the majority of cases.
