Television Standards
When you select a TV standard option you are telling Fx Video Converter how to set the default frame rate properties for your output file.
You can of course change the preset defaults when saving your file to disc. The essential changes that are made are in resolution, and frame rate as show below.

Below is a brief description of the two major standards
| NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) The color television system used in the USA, Canada, Mexico and Japan defined by the NTSC in 1953. Defined as 525 lines at 60 frames per second. The color coding system for television widely used in Europe and throughout the world, almost always with the 625 line/50 field system. Defined as 625 lines at 50 frames per second. The PAL standard was derived from the NTSC system by reversing the phase of the reference color burst on alternate lines to correct for hue shifts caused by phase errors in the transmission path. |
