PAL & NTSC v. Region Codes

I have a client who needs a DVD with subtitles in like 20 languages. I know how to make a disc with no region coding, or I should say all region codes. Wouldn't this disc also have to have a PAL version to really play correctly in most countries, or with a DVD do you mostly have to worry about region codes? My thinking is that an NTSC disc will play in any player if it has every region code, but it just won't play exactly correctly.
Thanks

Jake:
Its not a DVD Player issue really its a TV standard issue.
In fact are both involved. But DVD player is the first in the chain that must have the ability to read both standard DVDs.
After that, analog output of player must match the one on the TV. I have seen (a lot of times!) the B/W issue but in the other way: in NTSC native players that can play PAL , but because you can find different PAL flavours (PAL, PAL-N, PAL-M, etc) the analog output signal must match the TV set one. I'm in a PAL-N country and have seen a lot of DVD players prepared for the european PAL that plays PAL DVDS in B/W. But I never have seen that kind of behaviour with NTSC DVDs . . . but I'm prepared to that !! ;D
And as we both adviced, the only way to be 100% in the safe zone is creating both DVD versions.

  • Region 1 (NTSC) and Region 2 (PAL)

    Is it possible to watch both Region 1 and Region 2 DVDs on my iMac? I currently live in the UK and have many region 2 (PAL) DVDs, I am about to move back to the US and would like to continue playing my Region 2 )PAL) DVDs but would also like to play my Region 1(NTSC) DVDs I have back in the states. Is there any way I can continue to watch my UK DVDs?
    Currently I can only 'switch' between regions 5 times, then I am done, I've already switched once due to my move to the UK.
    Cheers,
    Justin

    MacTheRipper will save the DVD to your hard disk and delete all region codes at the same time, so that you can view them from your hard disk. As the process is pretty fast (a few minutes, depending on the DVD) it can be used to bypass the region coding. It will create a VIDEO_TS folder that you can open with DVD Player (the app that came with your Mac and is part of OS X). It will take a LOT of HD space (up to 8 GB) so you may have to erase them after viewing.
    VLC, on the other hand, will replace DVD Player and decode DVDs from both regions through a software process. DVD Player will still pop-up and ask you to change your drive's region coding, unless you change your Systems Preferences (Hardware > CDs and DVDs > When I insert a video DVD : set to ignore or to open VLC, instead of DVD Player which opens by default). VLC will not save anything to disc.

  • IDVD - PAL - NTSC - REGIONS; All messed up?

    So I finished a project on iDVD, and the "clients" are from many different countries... The original project was worked as PAL. In the end, in iDVD I changed the setting to NTSC in order to write 3 disks. 1 for a client in Canada, and 2 for the U.S.
    With the Canadian, there were no issues (at least the client didn't mention anything, only that the DVDs were great).
    The one American, told me she had to change regions to her laptop DVD in order to watch it, but other than that it was ok.
    The other American, could not watch the DVDs on her old windows xp laptop, also not on her DVD player on her Tv. She also went to a store to ask for help and the technician told her he could see the contents of the disk, but not play them; probably because they were not NTSC (!!!!). Finally she watched the DVDs by using VLC on her laptop (no region change here...)
    What is going on? The same disks, 3 totally different behaviours...
    Can anyone guess what went wrong?
    I would really like to fix those problems...
    Thank you!

    Hi
    Region - Should not be any problem - as iDVD only can make Region = Zero (0)
    This means - Plays in any economical region (Has Nothing to do With TV-Standard at all)
    TV-standard are as:
    • NTSC (29.97fps) 520 lines - about 640x480 pixels (square) 720x480 rectangular (narrow) pixels
    • PAL  (25 fps)   625   lines - about 768x576 pixels (square) 720x576 rectangular (narrow) pixels
    And Playback on Computer - should be able to use both - VLC usually works better than QuickTime in these cases. BUT here I noticed that PC/Macs are picky on Quality
    • Burn speed I set down to x2 (or x4)
    • I only use Verbatim DVDs - NO Memorex or NoName or other cheap brands - Yes it matters
    • I use DVD-R as they play on more and even older DVD-players
    My notes on this subject.
    PAL to NTSC or NTSC to PAL
    A. Copying commercial DVDs - No Not possibly at all - Not even legal to discuss. 
    B. Home made DVDs (DVDs without copy protection)
    C. Movies from iMovie or FinalCut
    • Save as full quality QuickTime .mov and convert this with JES_Deinterlacer  (free on internet)
    NTSC ---> PAL.
    • Most often not necessary - Most stand alone PAL DVD-players playback NTSC
    (if TV is old in BL/W)
    PAL ---> NTSC.
    • If played on Mac - not necessary AT ALL
    • If on NTSC DVD-player - CONVERSION IS NEEDED - nearly no Stand alone NTSC-DVD-players
    playback PAL at all.
    To do this You need to convert the PAL DVD to streaming.DV or full quality QuickTime .mov
    • I use Roxio Toast™ to do this (There are no free converter)
    • JES_Deinterlacer  (free on internet) to convert to NTSC
    • Set up an NTSC project (29.97fps or 30) in iDVD and import then burn
    I burn to
    • Verbatim DVD-R
    • Set down burn speed in iDVD to x1 or x4 recommended by many
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk before burning (IMPORTANT)
    PAL is 25 fps and an analog TV standard of 625 lines
    NTSC is 29.97 fps and 520 lines
    NTSC (29.97fps) 520 lines - about 640x480 pixels (square) 720x480 rectangular (narrow) pixels
    PAL  (25 fps)   625   lines - about 768x576 pixels (square) 720x576 rectangular (narrow) pixels
    to use a photo 702x480 resp 576 then add 9 pixels on each side to add together as 720
    If iDVD hangs on PAL or NTSC.
    Bengt W wrote
    Deleting iDVD pref. file - should return You into NTSC mode.
    Yes iDVD can switch to PAL - BUT as You see with a rather lousy result.
    a. Need to convert to PAL - most often not - Most PAL-player can playback NTSC
    and on a fairly new TV in color. (old TV in Bl/W)
    (Other way around - from PAL to NTSC most often a must - few NTSC-player can use PAL)
    b. IF MUST - then use JES_Deinterlacer to do this conversion - so much better and free.
    My list on this (or rather PAL --> NTSC - just think the other way around)
    I have to send it overseas
    That too can be a problem. As USA = NTSC = 29.97fps and EU = PAL = 25fps.
    DO Not let iMovie or iDVD do this conversion from one to the other - Result will be Very
    BAD
    I save the movie as a full quality QuickTime .mov file then I use JES_Deinterlacer to do the conversion - then I cont. in iMovie or iDVD with project set accordingly.
    JES_Deinterlacer is free on Internet and there are Pro applications but not that much better and costs are astronomical.
    PAL-DVDs - don't play in US
    NTSC-DVDs - usually plays well in EU
    All plays well on a Mac - What ever.

  • DVD Player Hasn't set the REGION code

    I just got a new MacBookPro (a replacement for one that had failed). Well, I restored all my data and am working fine... BUT...
    I think all my settings think that I've already set the Region Code of the DVD drive. But, using a tool, I was able to verify that the region code has NOT been set.
    How can I force DVD Player to set the region code of the DVD Drive? Right now, I can't play anything.
    Thanks!

    Hi Jack and welcome!
    Until I read the last sentence my answer would have been: insert a commercial DVD intended for your region code (unhelpfully you don't say where you are!), i.e. NTSC for the US or PAL for Europe, and it will ask you set the region code for that DVD.
    Remember: you can only ever do this five times, so best not to play DVDs from other regions.
    But then you spoilt it all by saying "Right now, I can't play anything"!
    What did you try to play?
    Did you repair permissions?

  • NTSC All regions DVD on Region 2 player?

    I seem to recall that many (maybe most or even all?) PAL DVD players are able to play NTSC discs, if an NTSC DVD was created with all of the region options enabled would a region 2 player be able to play it?

    HI Wes - not really a coincidence, more of a marketing process to carve up the world into the different regions.
    Yes, Region 2 (Europe (except Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus), Middle East, Egypt, Japan, South Africa, Swaziland, Lesotho, French overseas territories, Greenland) countries often also use PAL, but so do others not in Region 2 ( PAL covers most of Europe, most of Africa, China, India, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, North Korea to name a few). For example, New Zealand use PAL and are in region 4.
    The TV standard is the key, IMO - make sure your footage can actually be seen in those countries, and then make the disc region free (tick ALL of the boxes and make sure it has a region code mask of 0).
    My rather jaded view is that the regions simply helped ensure sales were optimised and have nothing to do with whether the disc will play back! But you are also correct in saying a lot of DVD players can play both standards these days, however I wouldn't rely on that when creating a disc.
    Finally, if your disc is being burnt in your mac (or PC), make sure that you tick all of the regions in the build/format dialogue as if you don't there will be a conflict between what you are asking and what is hard coded into the DVD-R you are writing to. Region codes really only come into play if you are using a replication process.

  • Universal Region Code

    I had a question posed of me today:
    "Do you know if the DVD format is universal and is compatible with overseas DVD
    systems? I have purchased USA DVDs before only to find they don't work here
    in South Africa."
    I think that there are two issues at work here, the first is how I author the DVD's - Unversal Region Code, the second is PAL vs NTSC.
    Can anyone show me how to control the Universal Region Codes?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the link.  Below is an excerpt from the tutorial you sent me.  Just to be super clear, under build, regions codes, the default is "all regions" (per this article).  I tried to click "custom" and see if I could uncheck all of the countries.  This is impossible, Encore forces you to choose at least one country.  So, am I correct to assume that I authored my DVD correctly by going with the default "all regions" checked?
    Thanks,
    Lisa
    "To control the countries in which your DVD will play, use region coding. Each region code corresponds to a particular country or geographical region. Often, only DVD players from a specific region can recognize the code for that region. DVDs coded for any other region will not play.
    You can allow all regions to play your DVD, or only a select number of them. Region coding only works consistently on replicated DVDs. Some DVD players may read region coding correctly on projects written directly to DVD‑R, while others will not. (See Replicating discs.)
    Note: The All Regions setting is used for Blu‑ray discs and Region Code options are not available for Flash output.
    Choose Window > Build, select DVD from the Format menu, and scroll down to the Region Codes section of the DVD Settings.
    All Regions is selected by default. Select Custom to deselect any number of region codes. When you close the Build panel and choose File > Save, your settings are saved with the project. The following table lists the available region codes."

  • Exporting different regions codes from imovie

    Does imovie allow you to export video and burn to DVD with different region codes. I live in Canada and would like to make a copy of my movie for someone living in Europe.

    Being from Germany and thus often confronted with the PAL/NTSC issue:
    Over the last at least 10 years the majority of locally sold DVD-Players and TV-Systems are multisystem. So the risk of someone not being able to play back an NTSC-DVD is there, but chances are a lot higher that it works.
    To my knowledge, the majority of DVD-Players sold here even allow for playback of an NTSC-DVD to a PAL-only TV-set.
    I personally think it is fairly safe at this time, only to worry about the system issue (not saying it is not there at all) once you get feedback, that someone is in fact not able to playback NTSC-material.

  • Create a DVD playable on PAL & NTSC.

    Hi
    I am using Encore CS3 and would like (NEED) to create a DVD that will play on both PAL and NTSC DVD players. I have read in forums the following theory...
    Master my content at 23.976 and then import it into Encore. After output it will be interlaced by any DVD player to either 30 or 25 interlaced fps.
    When I try and import into Encore I am only given the option of PAL (25fps)or NTSC (29.97), so which do I choose and how can I be sure that My final DVD is in fact 23.976 fps and will play on any format?
    PS, This is all very new to me as I am a 2D illustrator by trade!
    Thanks in advance

    I live in London, UK and work for a TV company that produces shows for PBS
    in the US. I have never had any problems here playing NTSC discs.
    They do look a little softer than PAL ones, since the picture is stretched a
    little but not so the average user would notice. The only problem that might
    crop up is if someone is using such an old TV or monitor, and we are talking
    very old here, the picture could play in black and white.
    The reverse isn't true - we have had lots of issues with PAL discs being
    sent to US clients and being unplayable.
    I am sure you know this but just in case not there is one caveat... do not
    add any regional code! Almost every TV professional I've worked with still
    confuses regional codes, region 1 for US and region 2 for Europe with video
    formats NTSC and PAL. If you do add a region code then you will find discs
    will not play!
    Make your discs in NTSC and region free and you should be fine 99% of the
    time!

  • IDVD and region code???

    I started a project in iDVD and created/burnt a DVD. I live in Germany and sent this DVD to a friend of mine who lives in USA. Half a year ago I already sent her a DVD which I had created in iDVD - she could watch the DVD without any problem (no region code question appeared). But with my last DVD this question suddenly appeard !!!!!!!! What the ....?
    Questions:
    1.) Does anybody else have this problem?
    2.) Dows anybody know what to do so there is no question for a regional code for a DVD which was created in iDVD??
    Thanks for your help.

    fenderkicker

    Hi Fenderkicker and welcome to the forums!
    DVDs made with iDVD are so-called 'Region 0" (no specific region) and will play anywhere without upsetting region settings.
    In the USA they use NTSC (29.75 fps) whilst in Europe we use PAL (25 fps). Most freestanding DVD players sold in Europe will happily play back both, but this is not the case in the US where few DVD players are set for PAL playback.
    Could this be the issue? That your first DVD was in NTSC and the second in PAL?

  • Pal/NTSC - double trouble?

    I'm creating a DVD for use both in the UK (Pal) and in Canada (NTSC). Do I need two different video files - one in Pal, the other NTSC - or can the DVD play if it's set to multi-region?

    Ideally, you need one in PAL and the other in NTSC. The region coding is a different issue, but yes, you should set this to be region all (i.e. check all of the region code boxes) if you are distributing this on DVD-R. If you are replicating, then you can decide if you want to restrict it to region 1 & 2 if you like...
    Playing PAL in NTSC land seems more problematic than playing NTSC over here in the UK - many modern TVs are now able to handle NTSC natively, but not all are. All players will handle NTSC discs, mind you - it's the TV that's the weak link in the equation.
    If playback is for a computer, then PAL/NTSC is immaterial... computers don't conform to those standards and both will play equally, as long as the region info is OK.
    You cannot put PAL and NTSC on the same side of a DVD, but you can use double sided discs (although you can't get any label info on these, except in the hub ring area), or you'll be doing a two disc set... setting up two projects in DVDSP and encoding two sets of assets, etc, etc, etc!

  • PAL & NTSC DVDs--an Option?

    I have an extensive collection of PAL & NTSC DVDs. The G5 has a (lower) empty optical drive slot. If I install another Superdrive will I be able to set it up to exclusively use this to play PAL regions 2 & 4 DVDs without locking the G5 permanently into this format i.e. use the first drive to still play NTSC Region 1 DVDs only? I understand that the manual says the the format choice can only be changed 5 times, but it is not clear to me if this statement applies only to the optical drives or the computer itself. I certainly do not want to make an irreversible choice for the G5!
    Any help will be appreciated.

    So... You are confusing video standard (format) with region codes here. The optical drives in Macs (most) are region code locked, meaning that they will only play disks from one region (and that region may be changed up to 5 times before the hardware gets stuck). It doesn't care what video format is on the disk from that region (NTSC or PAL), and it doesn't care about region-free disks (recordable DVDs, and commercial region-free disks).
    On the Mac, the region locking is managed by firmware on the drive itself, so you can have one drive per region, if you like.
    It might be more convenient to upgrade the firmware on the drive (depending on what model you have) to a region-free version of the firmware. As you may or may not be aware, the US is a WIPO signatory country and is prohibited from recognizing region codes as a form of copy protection or copyright control. Apple includes region code locks on their drives, ostensibly at the behest of their peers in the media industry, but it's perfectly OK for you to remove it (and, there are locales where region code locking is actually prohibited, but presumably if you bought your Mac there the locks are already absent). Be aware, however, that changing the firmware of the drive would void the warranty on the drive (not the whole Mac, just the DVD drive).
    Another option might be to purchase an external region-free DVD drive.

  • PAL/NTSC DVD's

    I recently purchased a 17-inch Intel-based iMac, and i was wondering if it can play DVD's from different countries (Japan in particular), wouold there be a problem with PAL/NTSC TV's??
    Thank You

    Remember you will only be able to change the Region Code in your computer 5 times. After that it will be locked to the last Region Code you used.
    So if you have DVD's from say Japan and the USA, then each has a different Region Code. If you play a USA, then a Japan DVD, that will use up one of your changes, then if you go back to USA then another will be used. Once you use the 5th change your machine will only play discs from the Region Code you last set it to. SO you could only play USA or Japan NOT both.
    This has nothing to do with NTSC or PAL as they are not Region Code based.
    They are simple the format of the TV signal being output.
    If for instance you only ever use Japan DVD's all with the same Region Code then it does not matter if they are PAL or NTSC you can play them as many times as you like, no issue as you swap from one to the other.
    Region Codes are there to prevent content from being bought in one region of the world and played in another.

  • Problems with PAL/NTSC Conversion

    I have a PAL Sony handycam camcorder and Final Cut Express HD installed on my 2004 iBook G4 (both purchased in North America, if that makes any difference)
    - I capture both PAL recorded footage (from my camera) and NTSC recorded
    footage (from other cameras) in Final Cut
    - Whenever capturing I alter the settings in “Easy Setup” to “DV PAL
    firewire basic” or “DV-NTSC Firewire Basic” depending on if I’m using PAL
    or NTSC footage at the time
    -After capturing, when I drag captured clips from the Browser window down
    into the Sequence timeline, every clip has to be rendered in the timeline.
    This is very time-consuming (rendering can take up to 10minutes for what
    might be a 2minute clip); and this happens regardless of my “easy setup”
    settings or the regional code of the footage.
    -In addition, after a clip has been rendered once, and I then make an
    alteration (usually a cut) the clip has be re-rendered
    -Also – when PAL footage is rendered and then exported usually frames are
    dropped and the image appears choppy.
    - Furthermore (and I suspect this is related) the program will not print
    to video; and I have tried using both PAL and NTSC cameras. Therefore I
    have to export all projects as quicktime files and then burn DVDs.
    - Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Marc Griffin

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    One important thing: FCE sequences's settings have to match your clip's settings.
    If you mix PAL material in a NTSC sequence, your material will need rendering and vice versa.
    Secondly: PAL format is a 25 FPS material, and NTSC is a 30 (29.97) one.
    So when you convert PAL to NTSC, there is a frame rate mismatch, thus the choppy playback.
    Your camcorder cannot record PAL material if it's a NTSC model. You need a plugin that converts PAL material to NTSC.
    There is a nice plugin pack from Nattress that performs PAL to NTSC conversion with various pulldown options (ie scalling 30 fps to 24 fps by blending frames selectively).
    See:
    http://www.nattress.com/Products/standardsconversion/standardsconversion.htm
    Final Cut Studio 2 (Final Cut Pro 6) will support multiple resolutions sequences (shipping in may), it's a new great feature.

  • Sharing movies overseas - PAL & NTSC burning

    OK -
    So apparently I have the option to burn a movie as NTSC or PAL.
    So I have to assume that the region codes on my Superdrive only matter when there is a commerically sold protected disk being played.
    Figuring out the best way to produce a home movie DVD to share with friends in Europe is still a problem.
    I do know that apparently TV set-top DVD burners produce video disks which have no region code difficulties. Is this likewise true for movies edited in iMovie, Final Cut Express & burned via iDVD?
    More information would help keep this from being a trial & error process - if the people on the other end are not overly technical. Its hard enough to get substantive "help desk-type" of feedback to even understand the nature of the problem your recipients might be experiencing.

    Hi Ernest
    I know all about the PAL/NTSC conversion because I, unlike you, live in a Pal area.
    You are so lucky living in USA because NTSC is accepted in all areas. In fact even though I live in a PAL area, New Zealand all my DVD's produced for world sale are in the NTSC format. Virtually every DVD player accepts NTSC but unfortunatley for me the USA DVD players do notaccept Pal
    So you can safely make and send all your DVD's in NTSC and they will be playable worldwide.
    As I said I live in a PAL area. 25 frames per sec and I have to change my DVD programmes to NTSC approx 29 frames per second. To get an acceptable conversion can be either very expensive or time consuming.
    I have not tried the Jes de interlacer so I cannot comment but most on the forum find it acceptable.
    I found the problem was to get good quality on all formats, computer, tube and LCD and Plasma at an acceptable cost and did not tie up my computer for hours.
    Eventually I managed to find out how to do it but it is a long job.
    One would think that the answer would be to film in NTSC but one cannot do this in a PAL area because of the difference in the electricity voltage. If I used an NTSC camera under lamps here in NZ the pictures would be unusable and visa versa.
    Nowadays all commercial DVD's are just dubbed in NTSC. This is a pity because PAL gives a better picture. In the trade NTSC used to be known as Never The Same Colour Twice.
    Sometimes I wish I lived in the USA!
    Hope this helps

  • Idvd 08 region code?

    i am about to burn a copy of something using idvd '08 and have been asked what region code it will be... can anyone tell me? im in the uk, the project is 10 minutes and PAL based so im assuming R2 or R0?
    also, are there advantages to burning the disk in toast instead? or is there other software that will make the disk more reliable to playback on standard dvd players?
    thanks all

    iDVD DVDs are region code free. You can play them anywhere.
