Are movies Pal or NTSC even in theaters? I didnt know that. I thought movies in theaters are shown at 24fps, which we get on Blurays these days and hence Blurays are not Pal or NTSC..just 24fps.
I think movies are re-encoded to pal or ntsc just for home video i.e vhs and dvds. But with Blurays we have crossed the barrier of Pal and NTSC. So I guess both NTSC and Pal discs will have been redone for the particular zone, isnt it ? Else why are Blurays 24fps...arent they supposed to be true to theater?
Guys pls feel free to fill me up with the facts..its an interesting topic to find out about.
Infact details on this Pal/Ntsc stuff can be researched on avsforum.com
Cheers
My querry was specific to DVD that was mentioned as PAL DVD (now confirmed by Newdeep above).
Regarding rest of the "vikc" Qs, it'll have to be in a different thread. It's common stuff.
Newdeep, as you said, it's a PAL DVD, do you see any combing when watching it in Force Weave mode ?? If no combing, then it must be Film to PAL transfer. Otherwise "Film to NTSC to PAL" ?? I don't expect any Indian DVD company will do two separate transfers, "Film to NTSC" for NTSC countries and "Film to PAL" for PAL countries. (Hollywood DVD companies usually do separate "Film to NTSC" or "Film to PAL" or "Film to Secam" etc transfers for various regions).
