The site I used to look up the 'PAL' acronym, because I couldn't
remember it, was referring to PAL format DVD's...
Clark is incorrect. There IS a BIG difference between PAL and NTSC on DVD.
DVD Video is MPEG-2, stored a 24 fps.
That's 720x480 pixels, displayed at 29.97 fps, on NTSC (~3.5 Mbps).
And 720x576 pixels, displayed at 25 fps, on PAL.
DVD Audio is MPEG-1, Layer 2 (not mp3!). It's mastered as Dolby
Digital for NTSC, and MPEG for PAL.
FWIW,
