Subject:NTSC vs. PAL?

I'm buying the ACID Pro 6 training DVD and I have to choose between these two. However, the page offers no explanation of what they are and their relative merits.

Can someone help?

Thanks,
Rick

technical differences aside, NTSC is the default format used in the US, PAL is used in Europe. so i'd let that be the deciding factor in your situation.

PAL is used in Europe ( except France, which of course has it's own 'standard) , Africa, Asia, Oceania. NTSC is in the Americas and Japan.

Thanks folks. I guess it would be a help if Sony just provided some simple explanation like this on the order page that forces you to choose between them.
