    Probably nothing. Most DVD players will play both nowadays.
    Go off and rule the universe from beyond the grave. Or check into a psycho ward, whichever comes first, eh?

    Let's rephrase that, "Most PAL players will play NTSC discs, but very few NTSC players will play PAL discs."


    You will need to convert your PAL video to NTSC video by 1) changing the framerate and 2) changing the resolution. This can get messy if your source video is interlaced.

    I often convert PAL movies to NTSC using ffmpeg.
    Code:
    ffmpeg -i moviePAL.vob -target ntsc-dvd -aspect 16:9 -acodec copy movieNTSC.mpg
