If your source footage is interlaced, deinterlace it. If your progressive frame rate is a constant 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, or 30 fps, then keep the frame rate as it is, unless you require a very low bitrate and want to halve the frame rate. These are all widely supported frame rates, although other arbitrary frame rates below 30 fps will often work as well. ...

You need two things - a PAL VCR and a digital video converter than can speak PAL. The last one I bought (in 2005) was software configurable for (or could autodetect) PAL and NTSC, and several that show up on Amazon appear to be both PAL and NTSC compatible. It looks like VCRs that are PAL compatible are available on both Amazon and EBay. When acquiring a ...

Most modern codecs will support whatever frame rate you throw at them. The choice is more of an artistic decision than a technical one. For the best quality, you should match the frame rate of your source or some even multiple there of. If you can choose on your source, then choose according to the feel you want. 24(23.976) is more "cinematic" and is ...

There are some storage calculators: AJA DataCalc, Video Space Calculator. Nothing complex, but keep also in mind that actual required storage size will be more than raw disk size due formatting, RAID levels etc.

A 'base' value is ~33 GB per hour for 8-bit RGB at 24fps. Multiply by 1.25 for 30fps, and/or by 1.5 for 12 bits/pixel, or 1.25 for 10 bits/px. 3840x2160 = 8294400 pixels per plane x 3 for RGB = 24883200 px per frame x 24 fps = 597196800 px per sec x 60 sec = 3.5831808 x 10^10 px per hour x 8 bits per pixel, / 8 bits per byte = ...
