Well, the conference was in the US, so they most likely originated as NTSC, no?

As far as I'm aware, all DVD players play NTSC whereas the reverse is not true. They won't play it if the region code has been set to a different country, but our DVD does not have this set so everyone should be fine.

The region free-ness does mean that the discs will be playable legally ok, but whether the TV picture will work is another question. You have to have both a DVD player that can cope with the other standard, and a TV that can work at the other frame rate. It's true that more players and sets in Europe can play NTSC and show 60 Hz, than there are players and sets in the US that can play PAL and show 50 Hz, but there will still be a lot of setups that have problems.

In all cases though, computers will be able to play the DVD-Video ok (assuming you have a DVD-ROM drive). The main reason to make them as NTSC would be if the video was recorded as NTSC in the first place. It wouldn't be ideal if they were recorded as PAL and then converted to NTSC, to sometimes be viewed in PAL again Doing that would mean everyone is getting less quality than was in the original videos.
