NTSC/PAL mixed videocd

[emuman]

Hi, I want to make a multitrack videocd from 6 mpegs files that I have, but I have a problem because some of the files are in NTSC and the rest in PAL. Can I make a mixed PAL / NTSC multitrack videocd or I wil have to convert all the files to the same format?

Never done it to be honest, but I don't see why a VCD can't hold both formats at the same time. Just make sure your TV can support them and it should be fine. Might still be a good idea to burn to cd-rw first (if your player supports it).

It does work - the only thing you need to be careful of is whether your DVD player can automaticlly switch formats on the fly. Most can these days though but older models will usually lock onto the first format and give odd results with the other format. As the_macman suggested go for a CD-RW if you can first but you should be OK.
