pal/ntsc film transfers

[gkumar]

Can someone tell me why EXACTLY is PAL better for film transfers than a NTSC DVX?

Higher resolution and 25fps converts very easily to 24fps. This might have some good info for ya:

It has a larger image size (pixel count).

NTSC = 720 x 480
PAL = 720 x 576

There is also a difference in the color systems. Some would claim that PAL is better, I prefer to view it as simply different.

Pal is slightly better res, but this is an old hold back before 24p. Before the DVX video was 30p or 60i...etc - 25p does not transfer better then 24p. Film is 24, the DVX is 24...
