Can someone outline what I need to set the color safe limiter setting to for ultimate conversion from NTSC to PAL, composite, luminance, RGB, etc.  I already was rejected on one project after applying the effect, they said my luminance levels spiked to 103 in a few spots.  So I don't want to blow this one, any help would be appreciated.  I did a search and the only thing I really saw was RGB should be 16 and 235.  thanks again.

There is no universal standard for this in PAL. Different broadcasters can have sligthly different requierments.

The Swedish national public service television use this standards.

Maybe You can find something at EBU.

But the most saftly bet is to ask they who will broadcast your project.

You are welcome to return Your result of Your research. I think it would be nice if the PAL community can create a list of valid levels on the color safe limiter for PAL distribution.

The limits you apply on your NTSC project aren't necessarily going to assure PAL legality, as there is a very real possability for colour gamut issues to arise in the conversion process - superblacks are a common issue.

Most hardware standard converters (which is all I'd use for a broadcast conversion) will have the ability to legalise video as part of the process - just worry about making it NTSC legal and worry about the PAL issues as part of the standards conversion.
