You can choose NTSC, as PAL-player could playback both, but NTSC-player wont be able to do the other way round.
The main advantage doing it in PAL is a (slightly) better SD-resolution. 720×576 (PAL) vs 720×480 (NTSC).

Hi Benjamin,
DVD is an old styled (1980th) optical media. by spec DVD is using MPEG2 for video and PCM (AIF/WAV) , dolby AC3 or DTS audio. all files needs to be elementary streams which means – video or audio only.if you would like to transcode media for DVD you MUST use these different file-formats or otherwise your file will be transcoded to one of them, cause encore is checking the input-files. if the wont fit to DVD-spec, they will be transcoded and you´ll lose quality.
media encoder has audio and video-presets for DVD-encoding, so to use them is a very simple step.

hi again,
TB3 was introduced with intel skylake-processors Z170, you can find it for example within the new macbook.prior mac ox 10.11.4 not the entire processor-architecture was implemented within mac os, so TB3 haven´t been working on hackintoshes. but now it´s working, has been confirmed by several users.

Well,
the new Hackintosh are based on the Z170-boards. tony updated the buyers guide a few month ago.there is a very interesting one: Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 TH with 2 x thunderbolt 3 on board, which are fully working, but don´t expect hot plug. all tb-devices need to be pluged while starting the machine.
I am preparing a machine for one of my customers soon.
I also have 2 others in my office, based on the older Z97, one built on an asus-board, another one with gigabyte as well with 2 x TB2 onboard.
it´s a bit of learning-curve to prepare these machines, but finally, if thery are working, a good and more cheep alternative compared to apple.

.. still waiting for audio-mixer and mixing-automiations for external devices! oops – roles-based mixer 😉

François,
this is the typical 80%-problem if you don´t really know about field-dominances.PAL IMX is upper field first, PAL DV is lower field first – this resuls into a wrong field-dominance, so you´ll have a bad jitter of course.
so there is a HUGE mistake in your workflow, but you allready know that.
what you need to do is to check your video using a reference-tube-monitor, or a reference-LCD-panel (like JVC DTV) to control your field-dominance.
and finally: don´t let encore transcode your video. you should encode your videos using a dedicated encoding-setup, that MUST have the same field-dominance than the source/input-video.
cheers

Hi Stephan,
the answer is quite simple:you need to use one of the professional tools like scenarist, dostudio, EasyBD or BD-Edit, that can do spec-programming.

it appears, that you have a motion-menu with a moving content. it appears that the end-action is not defined eg. not looped.
check it out.

hey jerry,
there are several things that could cause this problem:1. bad and/or cheap optical media
2. to high video-bitrate
3. use of PCM-audio instead of AC-3 dolby digitalpoint 2. and 3. could happen in combination.
DVD-spec has max bitrate of 10.08Mbit/s by spec. if you use DVD+/-R-media it´s better to use lower bitrates. 8.0-8.5 and 192kbit/s for stereo audio.
you should set your project-settings to H264-video and AC-3 dolby digital.

Hi again,
NO – it wont work with your setting – according to surcode system-requirements (from their website):Mac OS X 10.6 – 10.8.5
Apple Compressor 3; Compressor 4 or higher is NOT currently supportedso it wont fit with your mac os system 10.9.5.
and according to your question why it´s not worth the price – that´s very simple:
I wouldn´t buy a software for 250$ if it could no longer been used (on newer plattforms)
I BOUGHT their decoder-plugin for several machines and got sad, as there has been no support/update for newer OSs.
my advice: don´t spend the money! look for a company that might be able to encode your audio for you (nearby).
