    NTSC = US, Japanese OR Canadian Version
    (thanks to astroduck and cyberxion101 for keeping this overly correct. )
    PAL = European Version

    There are no other differences besides possible language changes and screen format.
    PAL TV's work a little differently than NTSC TV's so the imaging is displayed different.

    One small correction, NTSC = US or Japan version. Not just US.

    Oopsie.. I guess I wasn't thinking, silly me..
    Currently no, I managed to "almost" get every Clock Tower, just one or two left..
    Anyways, I guess I still need to find you something for your kind offer awhile back.

    Lets just say that NSTC is for Notth America or Japan. And Toto is right the correct FPS for PAL is 50 and NTSC is 60.

    To Sage : Thanks for you offer Pm me and we will talk.

    i thought it was 30 because i use video editing software on my computer and you have the coice of producing in PAL or NTSC and it says NTSC is 30 FPS. but you probably know better

    NTSC color video is not 30 frames-per-second (fps), but actually 29.97 fps. The previous example showed how the media time scale and the duration of the frames specify the video's frame rate. By setting the media's time scale to 2997 units per second and setting the frame durations to 100 units each, the effective rate is 29.97 fps exactly.

    In this situation, it is also a good idea to set the movie time scale to 2997 in order to avoid movie edits that don't land on frame boundaries. The movie's time scale is stored in the movie header atom.

    With a time scale of 2997 in the media header atom, the time-to-sample atom would contain the following data values:

    Atom size 24
    Atom type 'stts'

    Version/Flags 0
    Number of entries 1
    Sample count n
    Sample duration 100
