Hi there.
I'm trying to burn a DVD for my friends in the U.S.A (I'm in England), so I want it to be in NTSC format. The video footage is actually NTSC at source, so I don't think there is a problem there. However, I wonder if the problem could be that I'm using a disc bought in England, set to PAL, which doesn't work with the NTSC iso file. Does it work like that - are blank DVD discs set to PAL or NTSC depending on which country you buy them, or are discs not PAL or NTSC specific until you write on them?
FYI, I managed to burn the same videos onto disc when I had it set to write as PAL, so I think that rules out the actual content being the problem.
Any help people can be with this will be much appreciated.
I'll paste the error message below.
Thanks.

Blank discs are not NTSC or PAL. Just like a blank piece of paper isn't French or English. What makes a disc NTSC or PAL is what you put on it -- the properties of the video. 720x480 at 29.97 fps is NTSC, 720x576 at 25 fps is PAL.

Do you have any other log files that actually show the disk size?
If the iso file exists you may want to try a different burning program - like ImgBurn. -

Hi there,
Thanks for everyone's responses.
Jagabo: It's good to know that the PAL vs NTSC disc is a non-issue.
Sambat: Maybe the disc is faulty. It's the only one I have, but should be able to get more tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it goes. I don't know what you mean by 'log files', but in the 'This PC' folder it shows the disc as 0 bytes free of 4.18 GB. When I open the disc it has two folder inside: 'AUDIO_TS' and VIDEO_TS', but they are both empty. Could this mean those folders were burned onto the disc, but nothing else was?
I do have and iso, so I can try ImgBurn.
Hech54: What is the size limit with regard to burning onto a 4.7 GB disc? From your statement, I assume it's not 4.7 GB. -

Of course it is, using their nomenclature (GB).
DVD-R and DVD-RW supports single side 4.37 GiB* DVDs(called DVD-5)
I regularly fill my Verbatim DVD+Rs to 4475 MiB. -

It might help a newbie understand what is going on. As you implied, it is best not to fill a DVD to capacity (for safety's sake), let alone exceed the capacity, which means it is necessary to be aware how bytes are being counted by the OS to avoid running into trouble.
Unfortunately while DVD manufacturers specify disc capacity in GBs, Windows reports a file size in GiBs, even if its labeled as "GB". OS X uses "GB" in the same sense that DVD manufacturers use it. Some flavors of Linux use "GiB" for clarity.Ignore list: hello_hello, tried, TechLord, Snoopy329 -
Hi guys,
Thanks for everyone's input on this issue. I got my new blank DVDs and it burned an NTSC copy fine and dandily. The other disc did have something on it, but I'm not sure what (apart from those two empty folders) since it didn't play anything.
