How can I know if a DVD is pal or NTSC

[bambam]

Hi
I would like to know if there is a software that exist that could analyse the content of a DVD VIDEO_TS folder and tell me is the content is a NTSC, PAL or other format.

Thanx

If it 25 frames/second, it's PAL. Can't get much easier than that. You should be able to check it with your software DVD player program. The framerate doesn't necessarily decide the format, but 25fps would almost certainly be PAL on a DVD.

You can pull the VTS_01_0.ifo from the disc with a ripper and open it in IFOedit to see what it says.

How can I know the fps with Ulead DVD Player ?
I did not find anyway to display this information

Ok great its working this way
thanx a lot

do you think that any ifo file on the dvd could work with the same trick ?

You don't even have to rip anything off the disc, you can open it and view it right from the disc with IfoEdit.

Also you can use a software player or DVD Decrypter or AVIcodec or.........
to check the resolution and that is usually a good clue also.

PAL is usually 720 x 576
NTSC is usually 720 x 480

All the specs are in the link i posted.

I want to check the format of a dvd i don't have
if I can download only ifo file which are few Kb instead of a complete 4 Gb dvd or a 1Gb vob file
It would help me a lot

I just want to know if I can do it with only the VTS_01_0.ifo file of any ifo file can provide me with that information

thanx

Try it - for the sake of downloading a few files that are only a few Kb's each, it's not hard...

[bambam]

It seems to work with the downloaded files

VIDEO_TS.IFO
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_02_0.IFO
