Atlantis 2.1

Atlantis is a very easy to use application that allows you to easily convert PAL to film-motion NTSC, or NTSC to film-motion PAL!

Here are some key features of "Atlantis":

· It intelligently deinterlaces PAL video for a "shot on film" appearance, without reducing resolution.
· It then converts 25 frames per second into 29.97 frames per second interlaced NTSC, with a modified 3:2 pulldown, the same method used to convert film to video.
· It also converts 16:9 anamorphic to letterbox if required.
· It can also letterbox (crop) 4:3 video to 16:9 if required.
· It can also simulate film grain and red layer emulsion shift, if required.
· No modification to the soundtrack is needed, because with DVFilm Atlantis PAL to NTSC the duration of your movie stays exactly the same.
· Supported file formats are Quicktime, MPEG (.VOB), or AVI files. The Mac version only supports Quicktime.
· NTSC to PAL - Atlantis can convert three different types of NTSC to PAL: Normal 60i (interlaced NTSC), NTSC with a 3:2 pulldown like film transferred to video, and NTSC with a 2:3:3:2 pulldown such as created by the Panasonic DVX100 or Canon XL-2 24P video cameras. The file formats can be Quicktime, MPEG (.VOB), or AVI. The Mac version only supports Quicktime.
· This function is useful for filmakers wishing to incorporate NTSC stock footage in their PAL projects, or filmmakers wishing to edit 24P video in a PAL editing system, or converting a NTSC tape or DVD to PAL format for viewingon PAL systems.
· It converts the NTSC to true 24P progressive-scan, without reducing vertical resolution.
· It then speeds up the 24P to 25P (by +4%), and speeds up the soundtrack to match, and enlarges the frame size to 720 x 576.
· It can also convert 16:9 anamorphic to letterbox if required.
· It can also letterbox (crop) 4:3 video to 16:9 if required.
· It can also simulate film grain and red layer emulsion shift, if required.
