TipsAbout DVD Video (NTSC)(.*vob) and DVD Video (PAL)(.*vob)

NTSC and PAL belong to the two major television broadcasting systems in the world, but they project different frequencies. NTSC is the abbreviation of National Television System Committee. Its standards are mainly used in Japan, the United States, Canada, Mexico, etc., while PAL is the abbreviation of Phase Alternating Line, which is mainly used in China, Hong Kong, the Middle East and Europe. These two systems are not compatible with each other. If you play NTSC video on a PAL TV, the screen will become black and white, and vice versa.

Compared with NTSC, PAL has higher definition, more precise colors and higher contrast. But the splash screen occurs obviously, the double-frequency scanning TV excluded, and the dark details are black.

However, in contrast with PAL, NTSC displays better dynamic effects and stronger image layering, obvious dark parts and fewer splash screens. But NTSC cannot display the precise colors and easily show the white points.

Part 3: Comparison

With these 4 applications, you can convert MP4 to DVD video. To help you fully understand them, we list their pros and cons.
Generally, we try the online converter at first. But this kind of converter relies on the network. If the network environment is not stable, the conversion may fail. The size of the uploaded file is also limited. What’s more, the file can be easily leaked when uploaded to the website server. If you want to avoid these problems, you can try the other applications.
However, they are different. Free DVD Creator and DVD Flick emphasize on converting video formats to DVD. Renee Video Editor can not only convert formats but also supports us to edit videos, such as cutting, merging and adding watermark. Therefore, if you wonder how to burn MP4 to DVD, we recommend Renee Video Editor.
