Im not really sure what u mean by "ntsc/pal tecnique" but generally R1 movies are in NTSC, and R2/R4 are in PAL (i THINK r4 (australasia is pal, dont quote me) . Pal movies are higher res, and some versions run at a lower FPS than NTSC, roughly 4% faster (PAL50 (uk) rather than the standard euro PAL60)
If you live in US and have a Sony tv u have no probs, as these are MultiSync and will pretty much accept any signal you throw at them, wether it be NTSC or one of the various PAL signals, but a lot of tv's will only accept NTSC.
You guys think u have it bad not being able to play PAL films? in the UK to back up a NTSC disc u gotta buy an expensive Worldstandards VCR or a NTSC>PAL50 box, which again is a few hundred dollars ;(
So, viva PAL vcds
