WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAL AND NTSC STANDARDS?
There are two TV video standards, PAL (Phase Alternating Line) and NTSC (National Television System Committee). The PAL format is used almost everywhere in the world except in Japan, Fiji, Philippines, North America, and most Central and South American countries. These countries use the NTSC format. The NTSC system forfeits video clarity to reduce flickering on the TV screen; however, PAL allows more flickering to gain an improvement in clarity. PAL format cannot be played on an NTSC-only TV and likewise, NTSC format cannot be played on a PAL-only TV. However, many TVs, DVD & Video players currently made are compatible for both PAL and NTSC and can display both types of video. Check your TV manual, or with the manufacturer to be sure.
