I just recently filmed a movie here in the US. If I put it on a DVD here will it play on DVD players over in Europe or other parts of the world?
I know with videos there is NTSC and Pal, is it the same with DVDs? How should I handle this to send usable DVDs overseas?
Thanks for any advice,
Robert

Yes DVD's also have NTSC-PAL distincions, whenever you want to distribute to a country whose standard is PAL (i think most of europe is PAL, france uses something else again (SECAM)) you're going to have to burn the DVD in PAL, basically since the Standards have different framerates and dimensions you will have to render the video into PAL which will fundamentally change the way it looks.
you can use this website ?url? http://www.alkenmrs.com/video/wwstandards1.html?/url? to look up which country uses which standard.
You should note that some DVD players support both PAL and NTSC as do most computers, but if you're aiming for wide distribution you do need to follow the countries standard.
Good Luck.

Or just burn NTSC and 99% of people on the planet will be able to watch it.
Cool, thanks so much for the feedback.

Yea, though I'd recomend going with the countries systems if your going for MASS distrobution. Any DVD player made in the last 5 years will be able to play both NTSC and PAL regardless.
I order lots of DVDs from the US and play them in Aotearoa fine 🙂
