Selfmade DVD - Pal/NTSC problems ?

[Nuzumaki]

hi,

every home made DVD-R, wheather +R or -R, is region 0. except you have an authoring burner with which u can set
a region code and/or copy protection on or off. 
NTSC dvd-r is accepted  by nearly all dvd players, but its important to have exactly 720x480 and 29,97 frames, otherwise 
most of the standalone players (even expensive ones) have problems.

IMPORTANT: do not put a PAL and NTSC signal on one disc and take care that the resolution of the menus are also in the same format (pal-ntsc) as your film is. 

best regards,

stefan 

PS: i for mastering and authoring use : DVD MAESTRO or ADOBE ENCORE (both are not freeware, but really professional and offer many settings and options.

  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
