[Frameworks] How do people encode DVDs for international distribution? NTSC / PAL?

[Dennis Doros]

Dear Robert,

We issue DVD and DVD-Rs as zone free and in NTSC. We have yet to find a
European DVD player that couldn't play them. (Our Blu-rays are almost all
zone free as well.)

Fondest regards,
Dennis Doros
