If you happen to live in the land of NTSC television, primarily North and Central America, you may have experience the frustration of trying to play video from other parts of the world. Maybe you got a black and white picture that seemed to "roll," or perhaps you didn't get any picture at all.
HDTVs are able to handle both NTSC and PAL video, regardless of where they are sold. But that doesn't mean there isn't still a need for good PAL to NTSC conversions.
A lot of HDTV owners still have analog TVs in use for one purpose or another. And of course some people still don't have a HDTV at all.
If you are one of the millions of people who have one of these NTSC TVs and want to watch PAL video you should take a look at our new guide on the subject.
The guide, titled Convert PAL Video to NTSC describes several methods for converting between the two standards. If you use Nero Recode or TMPGenc Xpress you'll find a section on each. If you don't use (or want to use) either one check out the instructions for using AviSynth.
There's also a section on using pulldown flags, much like the way standard film-based DVDs are authored for NTSC.
You can find this, and many other articles in our Guides section.
