hi all
as this isnt really related to gaming ill put it here but if it should be in av setups can a mod please move it
wondering if anyone can either provide me with some information or a site where i can read up on the differences between pal and ntsc dvds.
i know in gaming ntsc is better as 50hz games run slower and the image is either stretched or bordered to fill out the 576 vertical lines of pal video, but im not sure what the deal is when it comes to dvds.
im assuming that pal dvds running at 50hz or 25fps or whatever arent actually running slower, just displaying fewer frames per second. so theoretically ntsc wins there but when it comes to resolution im not so sure.
on the face of it, clearly 576 lines are better than 480. what im not sure about is if on pal dvds the image is just stretched from 480 lines up to 576 which essentially mean there is no difference between the two. if on the other hand the original film is transfered to the dvd at with 576 lines then this becomes the better choice.
so my question is, which is it?
i really hope that makes some sort of sense. if not let me know and ill try and clarify
