You are partially correct. The NTSC & PAL formats define electrical characteristics of the video signal, but they also define frame rate and image dimensions. Xine or mplayer might be able to indicate NTSC or PAL formatting. David On 1/20/07, David C. chipman <dchipman@xxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi Paul, First of all, I'm no video DVD expert, but I'm not sure the video format (PAL/NTSC) matters. It's a digital compressed video format (MPEG2, IIRC) on the DVD. It's the player that does the Digital to analogue conversion (where PAL-vs-NTSC comes into play). None of that, of course prevents regional encoding (a different issue), of course.
