Please give us a little more information about what you are doing. If you have a video burned to a disc, then play it on your computer. If it play OK, then it was burned correctly and the problem is probably with those players. Are they region free or are they set for PAL? What brand of DVD blanks are you using? Does the bolded mean that you are in the UK? It could be read that the disc is burned in PAL which is what is used in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't matter what region the player is set for it will play a EMC created disc. Pal and NTSC are video standards that vary, depending on what part of this world you live in. Some newer DVD settop players will play both Pal and NTSC created disc's, check the players manual. cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Flicker is usually vaused by an incorrect frame rate on the picture. In Europe, the frame rate is 25 fps and in the Americas it's 30 fps PAL and NTSC don't actually refer to the signal to the TV - they're purely regarding the colour information but someone had the bright (but wrong) idea of using it to refer to the picture specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdanteek Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 PAL and NTSC They are not Standards? Or you just needed to so say something to use your favorite tongue gif, again! cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 They're colour decoding systems is all they are NTSC - National Television Standards Committee PAL - Phase Alternate Line SECAM (which is overlooked on all CD s/w) - SEquential Couleur Avec Mamoire (Sequential colour with memory) They refer to the colour decoding process - PAL flips the colour phasing every second line to counter any phase errors (the first line is fed via a glass delay transducer so that it reaches the decoder in sequence with the next line, otherwise there's be a zig-zag edge to the frame) Nice thing about PAL (and also SECAM) is that phase errors are corrected automatically - no need for a 'hue' control which was very common on American TVs (we never had people developing green faces) PAL is used in most of Europe - France and the former Soviet Union use SECAM But - all three of those came along well after the video (Luminance) standards were established.
