DVD play on PAL and NTSC?

[TA 152]

Not 100% sure but for computers or DVD-R players (for playback) the format is simply DVD-video. Most likely ANY video to be printed on a DVD.

Should read anything.

However for burning it is most likely that a specific DVD format will have to be psecified.

Another issue, and I'm sure you're starting to wonder why you asked in the first place, is that if I asked you for a transfer, there's no way in the world I'd want it on nasty old NTSC. It's so inferior to PAL, especially when played on a PAL tv, and I'd feel really duped. If you were to burn on a computer, you could definately decide which format to make the DVD in the project setup of Premier etc.

Roger, I suggest that you ask a forum of people not quite so obsessed with 1970's technology. Try those modern video folk.

With speculation but pretty accurate:

DVDs recorded with a computer will most likely:

Play back right away on other computers or computer connected to DVD computer drives. (or built in)
PAL / NTSC / zone no issue

Will play on some home stationary DVD players (with or without hack) and not on others and
(PAL/NTSC / zone / Homebrew compability is an issue) and:

Will most likely play back without a problem on most (all?) stationary (home) DVD players (recorders) with Fire wire interface.
(PAL/NTSC / zone / Homebrew compability possibly not is an issue)

Not nessecary one simple answer to this.
