pal and ntsc vcd

DearSir, Does a vcd follow PAL & NTSC format after encoding or it just remains a vcd format. Suppose i encode a NTSC Format DVD in my encoder and selecting NTSC while encoding.Will the VCD play in a PAL only TV after Burning in a VCD Format. Or i will have to convert the DVD in Pal and do the encoding in PAL to see in Pal only TV. Thanking You. Zerohash

If you realy have a PAL-only-TV (must be an old or cheap one), you have to convert from NTSC to PAL.

Some DVD players can playback NTSC as PAL via internal conversiom. You should try, and will see...

That's right, but you won't get smooth Movement in the Video by using this Methode.

Right. However, we don't have way to get perfect conversion, especially not for VCD - no fields.

This conversion thing you talk about is not a PAL60 conversion. Because a PAL60 conversion gives you smooth movement. Only the color-carrier will be changed from ntsc to pal, so that you have colors on your PAL TV. Everything else is no conversion for me, it's just putting out PAL and playing NTSC without synchronising the speed and without removing the interlaced Pulldown-Frames. that won't give smooth movement.

MvB: We actually talk same thing. But I was focused on conversions made on PC, with adequate software, not in hardware players.
