PAL DVD Plays in XBOX360 & Blu-Ray Player

Nov 9, 2011 9:13 AM

Tags: #pal

I have a wedding project that involves both NTSC and PAL (Germany).  This is my first experience with PAL.  I exported in both formats (Premiere CS5) and everything seems to work great.  I tried the PAL disc in my XBOX360 and my Insignia Blu-Ray player and it works on both of them?! 

 

I need to send the drafts to Germany but I wonder if they're really in PAL format.  The display in Encore's Project Settings seem to indicate that I'm indeed burning in PAL (the "Television Standard" button has a grayed out PAL selection). 

 

I'd hate to waste the time and expense of mailing these to Germany if they aren't going to work.  I'd appreciate any knowledge/experience on this topic.

    Can I ask what makes you think they are not in PAL?

    At least in the past, PAL coded video didn't work in NTSC coded equipment...

    Truly.

    However, X-Box is different, and most Blu-Ray players seem ignorant of the difference as they all upscale output these days to 1920x1080.

    Insignia is also quite a well-known make internally - the electronics are from someone very well known.

    As long as it works in the PAL players in Germany, I'll be happy.  It is pretty cool if the two types are interchangeable.  Even better, I should have no problems with the Blu-Ray discs
