What is the difference between NTSC and PAL video standards?
NTSC stands for the National Television Systems Committee. It is a national standard for television broadcast in the United States and other countries. The video signal has 525 scan lines of information, revealed at 30 frames per second. PAL is the European, African and Asian standard. It stands for Phase Alternation by Line. It has more information per frame (625 lines) and runs at 25 frames per second. These two systems are not compatible, so you need to be aware of what your destination standard is before you start the process.
