I think I already know the annswer to this question but thought I ask. If I am going to send a DVD to someone in England, does it have to be in PAL format, or can they veiw in NTSC. Also, does the DVD player region affect it's playability. In the US it's region 1. If I need to render in PAL, is there anything special I should know (this is my first time doing this). Also, if there is a region conflict, what do I have to do. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
With DVDA1,2,3 you won't produce a DVD that has a region code,
so don't worry about that.
I don't know DVDA4 yet.
If you plan to send a DVD to England/Europe or other PAL
countries, it is better to make the DVD as PAL.
All desktopplayers I know can play NTSC DVDs
on PAL TV, but in this case, there are some frame rate
issues (players don't convert frame rate in so much sofisticated way
as vegas does ;)).
Cause of this, it is a bit uncomfortable to view such a disc.
Not if a TV which is used to whatch, supports NTSC (many but not all of them does), if this is the case, playing the NTSC disc is absolutely no problem.
If you plan to send that disc to a specific person, ask him if he can play NTSC.
If you plan it to be more generally used, make it as PAL. (IMHO)
