pal/ntsc

I would agree when going from NTSC to PAL, it is the framerate that is the problem, but my suggesting you are not converting the framerate, but retiming the rate to play all the actual frames at a different speed. There is no real work here. The resolution is a minor adjustment. IF they have it it just save them some money.

Their (US) television pics are not as good as ours, neither are their programmes come to think of it. Actually, some American homes I’ve been in can play PAL DVD’s on their players, I think the modern kit will play both.
My festival still insists on NTSC and I’ve been advised that the conversion is best done in Compressor and I’m being sent the settings.

[Michael Slowe] ” I think the modern kit will play both.”
Very few manufactured DVD, BluRay players and TVs in the US can play PAL. PAL playback is by far the exception to the rule. US needs to be thought of as NTSC only unless you are only delivering to a specific individual that states they are PAL compatible.

Fair enough Michael,your info noted. It really is a ridiculous situation. Whatever happened to SECAM (French?) by the way?

SECAM Is a hybrid of PAL. All SECAM countries have PAL Players.
To add confusion, there’s PAL-M which is identical to NTSC except for some of the color info.

can someone please confirm the menu size for NTSC widescreen?
i have read…. 720×480, 1024×480, 848×480, confused!!!

NTSC is always 720×480 on a DVD. It is the shape of the pixels that change. 4:3 is .9 and 16:9 is 1.2. If you are using Photoshop it corrects for this as you build, as does any video graphic package. If you are doing it manually you start off with 854×480 (square), design then convert to 720×480, if you are looking at it in a photo program the image will now look wrong. Bring it into DVDSP set it to 16:9 and it will look correct.
