Well, having spent many happy (?) years getting round PAL video (I'm UK) and format transfer to NTSC, I have stepped into the world of that round silvery thing. (No - I'm not wiping my original tapes just making them more accessible).

I'm using a pc with a mix of packages to do my dvds and am fairly happy with first efforts although I learn a little more each time.

My question is - am I right in assuming that PAL & NTSC are no longer relevant as long as the dvd player can 'talk' to the TV? So, a dvd file is a dvd file is a dvd file.... and it's the playback technology that defines where it can be played.

Note that I'm not talking about regions here (US is 1, UK etc is 2 and so on) as these are region free.

Any thoughts welcome.

Thanks, Nick
