i have complied a slide/audio project using Vegas movie studio and
i need to present it in a country that uses the PAL system and has 220 Voltage

- i have it burned it using DVD architect using the NTSC format - (not PAL) - but I can get this converted to PAL?

i want to play it using a slide projector / screen
but am concerned it won't work

( i will bring another laptop wih me but it does not have Vegas movie make on it will this be a problem ?
the disc plays with windows media player on my computer
as well
will any compter read PAL or NTSC discs????
and do i need to convert to PAL - as the projector may only read PAL - or do slide projectors read PAL and NTSC??

If you're playing in a computer and connecting the projector through the VGA/SVGA/XVGA output then it doesn't matter whether you use NTSC, PAL, or Martian. The only time you have to worry about this is when you use a stand-alone DVD player through video composite or S-Video type connections to a TV.

Interestingly enough I have sent DVD's that I have created with the NTSC template and they play fine in my brothers DVD player in Sweden (PAL country)

Perhaps newer DVD players plays anything?

Possibly, but it's mostly down to the cheaper, far eastern players using generic pc components that will read anything they're given. It's not just the format they ignore - they're often region free as well.
