The old NTSC v PAL formats has reared its ugly head again. I'm in the process of exporting the
Slide video so I can convert it to DVD. As you may or may not know, the US and Canada use NTSC format for their TV, which is lower resolution than the PAL format that Europe, Asia and Australia use (480 pixels v 576), but higher frame rate than PAL (30 v 25 f/s) ...
The problem is this: if you shoot video on a PAL camera, which I had to do because video cameras over here are PAL, then you need to convert it to NTSC if you want it to play on US/Canadian players, and there is a loss of quality when you do that.
BUT, you can play either version on a computer ... I have no idea why that is, but that is the case.
So the poll asks: Do you watch instructional DVDs on your computer or on your player? If everyone used their computer, then I would just press PAL format, which is clearer; if most people say thier DVD player, then I'd press the lower quality NTSC to satisfy the biggest market (US - Canada).
It's a giant pain that there are two formats, especially in this day and age. Some players have a switch so you can watch either, but not all.
