Getting good quality out of converting NTSC to PAL with the tools we have available is pretty much impossible.
Since most PAL players also support NTSC,I suggest you try sending her an NTSC DVD to see if she can play it.

What format shiould i burn dvd in to play in blueray player? Using MacX DVD Ripper Pro and Handbrake

what format should i burn dvd in to play in blueray player? Using MacX DVD Ripper Pro and Handbrake

MacX DVD Ripper Pro and Handbrake
Neither is suitable for burning DVDs or BluRay media. They are DVD rippers/converters, not DVD authoring tools. Handbrake doesn't produce any format suitable for DVD Authoring. And while MacDVD Ripper can create .mov files even that's not a guarantee the file can be used for DVD authoring. You need DVD Authoring software like Roxio Toast to burn DVDs or BluRay disks.
Most BluRay players can play both standard def DVDs and high def BluRay disks. Which kind do you want to burn? And what exactly is your source media (video) that you want to burn?
And if you want to burn BluRay disks, you need a BluRay burner.

What formats for iPad for dvd?

I want to convert some dvds to my ipad for the kids. what format should movies be in on my ipad? AVI? MPEG? OR SVCD? Which will give good quality but not use up alot of space?

The manual lists the video formats the iPad likes
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
Presuming these are home movies or other non-copyright protected videos, Handbrake works quite well to convert formats. If it's commercial dvd's then you'll need to research elsewhere. No one here is permitted to assist you in breaking the CSS encryption on a commercial DVD.
If you're wanting to get commercial dvd's onto your iPad, an easier way may be to get teh movies from iTunes, then you'll own them and won't have to mess with conversion.

What format is it for DVD's?

My friend send me a movie, and it didn't work because the format was incorrect, she then sent me another one and it worked. What format are you suppose to have on your ipod touch to play dvd's,music videos - anything.

As shown on the iPod touch specifications page, the video formats it supports are:
H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

Using a *.wmv file to make a home video playable in DVD players?

Hello all,
I have a project where I need to take a slide show made in Windows Movie Maker (.wmv file extension), burn it to a CD and make it play in a DVD Player. I attempted just making a VCD on a Windows XP laptop, but it wouldn't play in the DVD Player.
So, can iDVD '08 help me out with this? I have a Mac Mini, but I'm not very familiar with it yet (bought it just a few months ago).
For clarification, what I need to do with this wmv slide show is burn it to a CD that can be played in a DVD player and I'm wondering if iDVD can do this for me. Already attempted making a VCD on a Windows XP laptop.
Any ideas would be great. Thanks!

Hi
She can't play it on her PC, nor can I at home.
Ussually it's a DVD player software matter. Windows Media Player is not intended for DVD playing. Did you use it when it failed? Try with the free and cross plataform VLC Player.
Some threads in DVDSP forum about PC compatibility (USe the search feature and you'll find a lot of them):

What formats can the Mac DVD player App support/play?

I have a list of movies that I imported from my friend, and, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out which formats will work and which wont--totally not tech savvy enough to figure this one out.

Unless the movies are on a DVD disk, DVD Player is not your App. Quicktime is it. You should be able to simply double-click the file to open with QT Player - the Mac knows how! - ÇÇÇ

HD DVD Burners and DVD Players

Someone recently told me that to have HD Quality video using an HD digital camera such as the HDR-FX1, i need an HD DVD burner, and an HD DVD player. Is this true? Or can I just use my LaCie DVD burner and my Sony DVD player and still get HD quality?

It is unknown at this time what will play in HD DVD players when they arrive. Sony, Apple, HP and other are supporting BluRay(tm) and H.264 as their selected format, Intel, Microsoft, Toshiba and others another encoding technology, some sort of Window Media stuff.
Yes, HD does take 4 times as many bits, and more than that for up to 24 channels of audio; but compression technology continues to improve. WRT H.264, I don't know what it's maximum bit rate is and I've not seen definitive articles on compression artifacts and other concerns on HD material. When HD DVD arrives, many of us will want to see substantial improvements over the best DVD has to offer; I'd really like 1080p rather than interlaced, for example. Bluray certainly has the technical specs to provide the data storage for that. But we'll have to wait and see who wins the technology battles.

PS: there was a news article today which said the Chinese are even going to invent their OWN HD DVD standards for a third competing method of creating DVDs. Something about wanting to avoid licensing fees in the Chinese market.

What Type Discs - and System DVD Backup Problems

I am very new to Macs and like many others here, I am a convert, after 18 years of using both MS-DOS and Windows based machines.
What a difference this iMac is, very impressive, but I am slightly miffed I missed out on the Intel Mac by a few days (literally).
Anyhow I have a few questions I am hoping you might be able to assist me with:
1. I do not know what the difference is between single layer type discs and any other type.
2. I do not know the difference between DVD–R and DVD+R type discs and which I might choose for what application. (I know the RW types are for reading and writing to repeatedly)
3. How do I do a “Multi-session” to a CD+RW or DVD-RW Disc? I have quite a few of these from my PC days and when I used one on my G5 I used the ‘Burn’ option in Finder to add a few small files. Unfortunately after I burned the files to the disc, I found I could not add any more later. In Windows, I could use these types of discs by just dragging files on and off no matter how many times I wanted.
4. My biggest problem is backing up the two Apple system discs that came with my iMac G5 20” (iSight).
I have purchased some Apple branded DVD-R discs which are 4.7 GB in capacity, but the Apple System (Install) disc 1 is 5.59GB in size (according to Get Info).
I have tried using the DiskUtility program to make an image using the DVD/CD Master option. This will make the Disc Image but of course when it comes to writing it to the blank DVD disc it states that the disc image is too big for the supplied media (the 4.7GB DVD).
Does anyone here know how I can back this disc up please, because I am worried that it will become damaged or scratched over time, no matter how careful I am with it?
All help and advice appreciated.

Welcome to the fold!
You ask some good questions and ones that a lot of people do not know the answers to since they have just never run into the technology.
A single or double layer DVD is just like it sounds. One can write one layer of data on a disk (about 4.7GB) and the other can actually write on two layers one the same side of the disk for a total of about 8.5GB of data.
The difference between the -R and +R disks is not as crucial as it was when DVD recording technology was in its infancy. When the tech was being developed, home DVD player manufaturers chose the -R format while computers went with the +R format. Nowadays, most DVD players and computers will read and write both types of disks, but if you are making a DVD movie for grandma for whom you bought a DVD player 5 years ago, you will want to use the -R disks as her player will most likely not read the +R disks.
There is no way to burn a true multisession DVD in Mac OS X. Sorry. You can follow Ken Stone's process for burning a multisession CD though.
I suppose if you buy dual-layer DVDs, you can make that image of the install DVDs, but since I have used them exactly once in the last 2 years, I am not worried about them becoming damaged.

Which DVD format plays on all domestic DVD players?

Hi guys
As a Mac user for many years, I've had issues in the past deciding if I should burn to DVD-R or DVD+R formats.
In my experience (Wedding videography), I opted for DVD-R because of it's wider compatibility (as it seemed at the time) with domestic DVD players.
I'm now advised by one of my customers that several recently burned DVD-R's do not play in their DVD players (this could of course also be low quality DVD-R media which I'm looking into with our supplier).
However,, I'm wondering if this may be a compatibility / format issue, and if so how best to overcome the situation?
I'm also wondering what format the likes of Blockbuster Video (etc) use for their "Domestic" DVD's which they hire to the public.
I'm guessing this may (now) be DVD-RAM - if so, is this the best format to burn to ensure best compatibility with domestic DVD players?
Any help or info to make my DVD's more widely playable, would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance.

No computer produced DVDs are compatible with all players.
If you are making the DVDs yourself DVD-R is your best bet but there will always be the occasional player that does not work.
This is the nature of the beast and you can do nothing about it other than pay to have them professionally made by a process that does not involve burning.
This is called replication and the data is physically and permanently etched onto the disc.
All professionally produced DVDs are made this way.
Computer burned DVDs rely on an embedded dye which alters its composition when the laser hits it and as such are always next best technology.

Widescreen format play's back in 4:3 on SOME dvd players?

Can anyone help? I shot and edited a video in actual 16:9 format (canon xl2 & FCP). When I exported to a quicktime file I changed the video properties to 853 x 420 as stated in an earlier post to make FCP widescreen work with iDVD widescreen. And that works! When i burned to DVD using iDVD I tried playing it back on my Panasonic DVD player and it played back in 4:3, cropping off the sides. But when I played the same DVD on my Playstation 2 on the same TV it played back in 16:9 perfectly fine. I tried it on two other DVD players and one worked (JVC player) and the other didn't (another Panasonci)? So I am confused what is going on. On the first DVD Panosonic player that didn't work I stuck in a 16:9 format DVD that was burned using Adobe Encore and it worked fine, so I don't believe it is a settings issue with the actual player (I think anyways). Does anybody know what is going on? Thank you.

+so I don't believe it is a settings issue with the actual player (I think anyways).+
I've found that you have to go into Setup on some DVD players and make changes. Something like Letterbox or just 16:9 setting. Try it.

I am going to place a 30 minutes dvd film on a website for one of my clients. Before converting tje old vhs-film to dvd I must know what format will suit the needs best. HTTP, Flash, Quicktime or something else?

I am going to place a 30 minutes dvd film on a website for one of my clients. The film was shot 15 years ago and is in vhs-format. Before I will have the film converted into a dvd-format I want to know what format will suit my needs best. HTTP, Flash, Quicktime or something else? I will make it easy for myself placering the dvd film on the site and for the vistors who wish to look att the film.

The DVD format (MPEG-2) isn't appropriate for Web use.
Use QuickTime and H.264 video codec with AAC audio. Size the file at 320X240 (best fit for your old file).

What format to export fcdp project recorded on sony z1 for dvd studio pro

what format do I export a Final Cut Studio project recorded on sony z1 HDV for dvd studio pro. I am getting lines on the edges if I export current settings.

HD-DVD is a dead format. It may play on your mac - or an HD-DVD set top player, if you happen to have one - but nowhere else. If you just want playback on your mac, compress to h.264 with your current frame size. If you want a DVD it will have to be SD and Mpeg-2 as Shawn already explained.

Flash to DVD.... how and what format

Im trying to get my flash file converted over to a looping
video clip, on DVD that will play on a wide screen TV. Hope some
experts here can help with a few pointers.
1. I made it 1020x720.... should it actually be.... 1280x720?
2. I've downloaded several demos of SWF to DVD conversion
softwares, yet none seem to provide the graphics quality once
converted. What software is best?
3. What format is best to convert to for the best graphics?
.AVI, .MOV, .WMV, .MP3?
3. What's Bitrate do when converting? I assume higher is
better?
Hope someone here can at least provide me a few expert
pointers on how to best get my flash file to widescreen TV with the
best quality without spending hundreds on additional software. Oh,
and I am using Flash8 if that matters.
Thanks for any help!!!

Hello,
i have had also the problem to bring an Flashmovie to DVD in
widescreen format.
Here is my solution, maybe ist fits your problem, even late:
- Create Flashmovie with stagesize 1024x576
- create new symbol and insert all frames into this
- delete all frames and layer from the maintimeline
- modify stagesize to 720x576
- insert an instance of the newly created symbol in the main
timeline and add as much frames as you needed
- scale the instance in horizontal direction to stagesize,
its about 70.315%
- export swf-file
- convert swf-file to mpeg with an Aspect Ratio 16:9
Widescreen
(i convert with Adshareit SFW2Video, so i need to insert
frames as above said)
- add mpeg-file with DVD-Authoring tool to an DVD
so thats it.

What formats are supported on the DVD player?

Do the DVD players on the iMac G5 support PAL formatted DVDs?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Since the screen on the iMac is not a TV, so it's neither NTSC or PAL, it will play either video format. In fact, if you attach a TV for external display, you can output either video format. I have several PAL DVDs which I can play on my NTSC TV through my MacBook.
The trouble may come up with the DVD region code. Before you're allowed to play a commercial DVD movie with the Apple DVD Player, you have to set the region code for your DVD drive. This setting is stored in the DVD drive's firmware and can only be changed five times before it's set for good. So, if you start playing Region 2 DVDs, you won't be able to play Region 1 DVDs unless you change the region code. Take a look at this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60183
You may be able to bypass Apple's region manager by using a different DVD player like the VLC Media Player.
