PAL to DVD
Product Summary:
Here at Montreal Home Movies, we your number 1 source for PAL to DVD transfers. Our customers have immigrated to North America from all over the world and those who came from Europe, Asia, Africa and South America often come with their PAL videos in hand. Therefore we get many requests for PAL to DVD transfers. However, we also offer many other options for your PAL video, please see our export section to find out more.
Product Description:
PAL is an analog video broadcast format that is used throughout most of Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. There are many different versions of PAL depending on where you are in the world, however, PAL generally plays at 25 frames per second. PAL was developed by Walter Bruch at Telefunken in Germany. The format was first unveiled in 1963, with the first broadcasts beginning in the United Kingdom and Germany in 1967. The term PAL is often used informally to refer to a 625-line/50 Hz (576i), television system, and to differentiate from a 525-line/60 Hz (480i) NTSC system. Accordingly, DVD’s are labeled as either PAL or NTSC (referring informally to the line count and frame rate) even though technically the discs do not have either PAL or NTSC composite colour. The line count and frame rate are defined as EIA 525/60 or CCIR 625/50. PAL and NTSC are only the method of the colour transmission used.
Whether it is VHS, Mini DV, Hi8 or any video format, we are fully capable of transferring a video recorded on PAL to DVD. We have cameras and decks that support all formats, which allows us to transfer the PAL video to NTSC (the North American video format standard) and then onto DVD. Even though PAL is not used in North America, we still get a high volume of requests for PAL to DVD conversions as many people have immigrated to Canada or the United States from countries in Europe, South America, or Asia and brought their old tapes with them. To see how we improve the quality for your PAL to DVD transfer, please see our Remastering section.
At Montreal Home Movies, you have all the options with your PAL to DVD transfers as you would with any other analogue or digital format. We can upload the video directly to your hard drive or we can do all the editing and graphics for you to make your PAL to DVD transfer the utmost professional looking video. Please see our export section to find out more.
