Correctamundo! With 576 lines in PAL vs 480 in NTSC one would intuitively
think that the 20% increased pixels favors PAL completely. However, the
frame rate is what makes the two choices nearly equal. At 30 frames per
second in NTSC vs 25 in PAL, the temporal resolution (smoothness and less
flickering) is advantage NTSC, while the spacial resolution (lines per image)
favors PAL. Whatever the native resolution format it is best, however, I
read (all of this is from reading about the subject...ha ha) that converting
from NTSC to PAL (upconversion) is better than PAL to NTSC (down conversion)
mainly because frames need to be inserted. PAL dvd's play faster (4%) than
the counterpart NTSC....NTSC plays back at the correct speed thru a process
called '3:2 pulldown' (very complicated, but check the DVD player box! ha
ha). When making a dvd, its best to keep it in the same format at the source
material.
But in the end, transferring files across the internet with your own
PERSONAL peer to peer is an efficient and amazing way to go. Check out
SENDLINK at www.computerknacks.com ......it only costs $25. For
example, here is what you can do. My sister lives quite a distance, and I
don't want to go thru the hassle of making, and especially sending dvd's to
show her a movie I made. So, with SENDLINK, all you do is open the
'sendlink' window, drag your file to the bottom pane, and then drag that
over into the body of your email. You can write your email, and the link is
embedded in it to click on. When it is received at the other end, they
click on the URL presented and download the file from YOUR computer. Of
course, both sides need broadband to do this and it is very secure. Large
files take some time, but I have sent a two hour full movie overnight in
about 8 hours.....so smaller files are much faster. It really is a very
easy and painless process.....very efficient and NO WAITING for the final
movie to arrive by snail methods. Can't you just see the expression on
your friends faces if they could download a movie from you directly into
their computer.... and they won't even be able to send it back in edited
form unless they get 'sendlink' too.... ha ha Have fun whatever you do.
