Hi Steve
Thanks for discovering this. Still waiting for my Ex to arrive.

Thanks for the replies guys.
I also noted that Sony have not announced a tele adapter for the camera and there is only a widescreen setting option in the steadyshot menu so this suggests there will not be one from Sony.
This may not trouble me but may concern others.
I guess Century Optics or someone else may come to the party.

Hello Jeremy
Thank you for the input.

Hi George
Pretty simple stuff up to 4 menus much as I do with DVD Workshop. Only navigational requirement is option of ‘Play all’ or ‘Return to Menu’ on Multi title projects. Playlist function of DVDWS2 would be useful but I mostly manage with capabilities of DVDWS1.3.

Hi
Inkjet ink won’t dry on glossy discs. They are made for thermal printers such as Rimage. A Rimage Everest printer will give you what you want but the price will floor you. If you use quantities printed the same see if someone who has one will preprint them for you.

Hi
I also live in a PAL country (New Zealand) and work for a company that distributes DVD Movies for one of the major studios. 25% of the titles are NTSC Region 4 so they clearly do not consider this a problem and in my experience any TV under 10 years old will usually play NTSC either as PAL60 or NTSC 4.43 depending on setup on the DVD player. I have no complaints about the quality of NTSC playback on my 42inch TV.

Hi
I posted areply in DVDWS forum basically agreeing with David. Most duplicators including my company use DVD-R media. The only problem we have ever had is with a few but not all owners of Philips DVD players where a DVD+R is required.

Hi
As far as I know a disc can only be one standard. If you want a DVD for universal playback use NTSC as all PAL players support NTSC but the reverse is not true.

Hello
I live in a PAL country and regularly make NTSC DVDs but I convert the video before capturing in NTSC. All PAL DVD players are multi-standard and play NTSC but there are traps. Did you convert the audio to Dolby? If not it will play on your player but in the USA will have no sound on virtually all players. I make all menus 768×576 (4:3) for both PAL and NTSC. You can get away with 720×576 for PAL (screen grab) but 720×480 is a long way off 4:3 and you may have a squashed menu with black bars at top and bottom depending on authoring package. I use DVD Workshop. 640×480 would probably be OK also but I have not tried it.
To test you should be able to go into the player setup and set for playback on NTSC TV. When played on most modern PAL TVs the TV should switch to NTSC automatically. You will have to check the audio by looking for the Dolby logo lighting up or on a PC with software player and check Information. 720×480 does play back 4:3 in an NTSC player even though the numbers don’t appear to have that ratio. Even PAL 720×576 is not quite 4:3 until played in a player.
