Any way to tell if a DVD has been written in PAL or NTSC
Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone knows how to tell whether a DVD is in PAL or NTSC format in file properties or using some particular piece of software?
I know this is maybe not a specifically Premiere-related topic, but as the original was made on Premiere I thought there might be some way of Premiere accessing the DVD and telling?
Long shot perhaps…
(And before you ask we have exactly the same project in both NTSC and PAL versions and just a blank disk with no clue which one it came from!)
Cheers for any help in advance,

Try G-Spot, its a freeware program that people use to identify video files, just do a net search for it.

You can tell if a clip is PAL or NTSC by either the frame size or the frames per second rate. PAL = 720×576 @ 25fps, NTSC = 720×486 or 720×480 @ 29.97fps. I’m sure you have PowerDVD or Media Player which will give you the above info. PowerDVD you go to configuration> Information tab. It’s in there. Windows Media Player start the DVD in WMP then right click on one of the titles> properties. It will have the frame size in there.
