I didn't think there was a difference at the DVD level between PAL  
and NTSC - that would depend on your DVD player and the output signal  
it creates. The DVDs should be the same except for region codes (and  
you might be able to turn your DVD player regionless with the right  
hack).

Am I off base here?
