Selfmade DVD - Pal/NTSC problems ?

[Sven Koerber]

Dear all,

excuse me for yet another technical question ...

I want to burn two films we made by ourselves on DVD and send it to Japan. I thought there wouldn't be problems with the German TV-standard "Pal" and the Japanese "NTSC" as You have it with video-cassettes, because DVD is digital. The film itself is filmed with Digital Video ("DV") and we burn it on a DVD-R (or maybe DVD+R ?). Now our cameraman and cutter said, there could be problems with the two standards.

I know that the country code (= the country-specific DVD-code which should hinder to view a foreign DVD on one's own DVD-player) in Japan and Germany is the same. But does anybody know if there could be problems with a self-burned DVD with Pal/NTSC ?
(And does anybody know of other problems which could occur by viewing a European selfmade DVD in Japan ?)

Thank You in advance :-)

Best wishes,

Sven Koerber
