[MEncoder-users] Problems encoding DVD from Canon HD Video

[Peter]

Ross, your camera is probably 600D? The D600 is Nikon's offering.

Ross probably prefers PAL because that is the TV standard in his country. If so, 
his camera would shoot by default at 25fps and it doesn't make sense to make a 
NTSC DVD because quality would suffer. (Similarly, it would make no sense for 
you to make a PAL DVD if your camera is shooting at 30fps. PAL probably seems 
foreign to you, because it is!)

PAL is perfectly capable of 16:9, that has nothing to do with NTSC.

(P.S. @Ross, one day, DVD's will be history and all viewing will be 
computer/laptop/tablet. You might consider switching your camera to NTSC because 
you will get 30fps option instead of 25fps at the same resolution, hence 
slightly smoother video on your computer screen.)
