PAL DVDs in US and the 'Author' of films
Posted: Thu Mar 02, 2006 10:06 am
Can anyone with definite info., Ned C. perhaps, confirm or contradict my understanding
that PAL DVD-R will play on standard US players. A "customer" (strictly
loss making as far as I am concerned, never mind non-professional) insists
they will not, but I suspect he is confusing regions or zones or whatever
they are called with PAL/NTSC conflict.
Please give your "qualifications" - I believe Ned is very high up the ladder
and I want there to be no argument with my chap. He gave , they thought,
two big 16mm reels of pre-war film, mostly family stuff, to our local Heritage
Centre, but then said 'when you've copied them to video, I'll collect them
again'. Out of it we've got 17 minutes of really interesting footage of
a complete silent film made by his father of their cotton-weaving mill.
By the way, having copied it to video, put subtitles and music on it, can
I enter it in competitions as mine? Surely not. This refers to Dave Watterson's
query last month. Peter.
