PTE on DVD to Germany

[LumenLux]

If I put PTE on DVD in USA for play in Germany -

I presume I need to encode/burn to PAL not NTSC?

Do some DVD players in Europe have switchable capability between the two? If so, is an NTSC format still not useable if the TV is typically PAL?

And regarding the regional codes on commercial cd's - is there anything similar to worry about when puting our PTE shows on DVD for different parts of the world?

It depends....

If it will be played on a DVD player then yes, use PAL. If it will be played back on a DVD-ROM/RW on a

computer it shouldn't matter.

You also need to know whether the recipient can play DVD+ and/or DVD-. They may not know, so ask them

for DVD player make and model and look it up at the reference site posted here previously. I'm sure

some players in Europe these days are both PAL and NTSC compatible, but it's not that simple... even with

an NTSC compatible player they'd need an NTSC compatible TV - safer to stick with PAL for them.
