All but the very simple video editors let you re-render in your choice
of format. What's your particular application - what are you needing
to do exactly?

UK

I use canopus procoder to convert from PAL to NTSC.
I always convert at the avi stage , not the mpeg2 stage in dvd
production.

Do you convert the PAL AVI to NTSC MPEG-2, or encode an NTSC AVI? If the
latter, do you go from DV PAL to DV NTSC or uncompressed NTSC?

I only ask because I need to do a one-off and although (in this instance)
quality is not uppermost, it would be nice to get it looking its best.

PAL dv avi on timeline
export timeline as a finished dv avi (PAL)
feed that avi to procoder and get a ntsc dv avi.
then feed that back into procoder and convert the ntsc dv avi into a
ntsc dvd compliant mpeg2 file.

It's two passes through procoder , but should be better quality and
less time than going from pal dv avi straight to ntsc mpeg2.

I will however soon be doing the final part the following way.

NTSC dv avi from dv tape in a dsr11 deck to a panasonic standalone
dvd-ram recorder.
That will create a ntsc dvd with ac3 soundtrack.

I can then add a menu to it using panasonic dvd-moviealbum-se or ulead
dvd disk factory , and make copies from that.

There's lots of ways to skin this cat...

I've be inclined to do all my editing in my video editor of choice, then
write-back to AVI (on the HD). Then use AVI2DVD (setting it to convert
from PAL to NTSC) after pre-installing the Ace Codec Megapack.

I should perhaps have added that AVI2DVD gives you *both* an ISO file
for direct burning to DVD, and a MPEG-2 file (sans audio) plus an AC3
file. With the MPEG-2+AC3, you can use your choice of DVD program
to introduce a menu system. If you don't want menus, then the ISO file
is used.
