24frames in USA and Europe?
Guys,
I know that if you want to watch the movie in Europe you must have a PAL (25 frames) version DVD, and in USA NTSC (30 frames) but what if the movie was shot in 24 frames per second.... Let's say I shoot 24p (pan dvx100a) and burn a dvd. Can people in Europe and USA watch this dvd (24frames?) Thanks for clearing this issue for me, Voytek

No - it must be 25fps for PAL. What you do is speed up your movie and soundtrack 4% for PAL.

You have to speed up your movie to 25fps and timeshift the audio. But you need to use pitch-shifting too, and use very good software to do so, otherwise everyone's voice sounds too high.
I am told by people in Europe that most PAL TVs can also discern NTSC signals. Don't know if their DVD players can do it too. |

Here in Holland a lot of people have multi-standard TV sets and
can thus playback NTSC. I surely can. Every DVD player sold here can as well [but it's still the TV that must be capable of displaying an NTSC signal]. The problem is not only framerate people. It is also resolution. To do a little comparison: NTSC framerate: 29.97 (30) or 23.976 (24) fps PAL framerate: 25 fps NTSC resolution: 720x480 @ about 0.9 pixel aspect for 4:3 PAL resolution: 720x576 @ about 1.067 pixel aspect for 4:3

So does NTSC material look letterboxed for you?

No, keep in mind the pixel aspects are different.
(480 / 0.9) * 1.067 = 569 or the Vegas numbers: (480 / 0.9091) * 1.0926 = 576 So it will look the same here. The picture is 4:3 in both formats, we just have a slightly higher resolution.
