DVD NTSC VS PAL NTSC

I have a sony pd150 ntsc video camcorder. I transfered the video through firewire and edited in vegas, then rendered to DVD NTSC MPEG-2 and burned on DVD-R.

What happens when I play it on my NTSC DVD-player, well it plays perfect, but what If I give this to my friend who is in the netherlands, he told me he bought a dvd player one year ago - i asume it is PAL there, so will I be al right? The DVD-R has all regions (no regio ncoding) thank you

PAL has a different framerate and resolution, so I'd look into that further. my initial guess would be that you'd have to render a PAL MPEG file and burn that to DVD to work in a PAL dvd player.

Pretty much all European DVD players will play NTSC discs, and most modern European TV sets will cope with NTSC video too, so I think you should be OK to send an NTSC DVD-R.

"You know PAL has a better quality."

Spatially, but not temporally <g>. It has 20% more vertical resolution, but 20% less fields per second.
