France use PAL format video, you would not be able to play NTSC video on a PAL TV. Bring a NTSC monitor with you as long it can handle France's 220v 50Hz power
In America? NTSC. In Europe? PAL
You have to have a DVD player that can play PAL DVDs. Some dual format players, particularly sold in the US, convert the PAL format so it is output in NTSC format. The other type of dual format players output NTSC discs in NTSC format and PAL discs in PAL format. If you have a the first type your NTSC TV will display both (losing the benefits of the (slightly) higher definition in the PAL format). If you have the second type, you will need a dual format TV to play PAL discs. The second combination is more common in countries that used the PAL standard for terrestrial broadcast TV.
No.
You can modify your NTSC settings by either modifying the 'firmware'. Alternatively, you can purchase "chips" that can be installed in your player that can play the PAL format.
No most US televisions do not Play PAL some can be set to play PAL
sorry, no you can not. NTSC is a format that can only be played on a NTSC console. NTSC and PAL are two different coding methods. NTSC is coded for the North America and South America. pal is coded for across seas.
DS games are region free, any game should work on any console. NTSC format is the screen display format used in the US, differing from the PAL and SECAM formats in the number of lines and the number of frames per second. This is important for, say, video casettes, one recorded in the USA would not work on a European PAL video player, it would be showing the frames slightly slower causing major playback issues. However all DS consoles are technically NTSC format so it doesn't really matter. In DS game terms, PAL simply refers to the 'PAL region', ie, Europe.
PSP games are not region locked - and the PSP plays in NTSC format regardless - PAL and NTSC are TV display resolutions, when used in a PSP context it just refers to area of origin.
PAL and NTSC usually refer to analogue television formats. Since the PSP has its own proprietary screen, PAL and NTSC in this case refers to the region the PSP comes from, which is important for the purposes of UMD movies and some online services. That means a US PSP can play a game from the UK, the video format is exactly the same. But UMD movies are region restricted so a US PSP can only play US UMD movies.
There are two major color encoding formats. NTSC is the format used in North America, Japan and other countries. PAL is used in Europe and other countries. If a DVD player outputs a composite signal in NTSC format, it will need an NTSC compatible television to properly display the image. Many European televisions will handle either format but North American televisions are less likely to handle PAL signals. Additionally, DVD players have region codes that prevent discs from one region being played on a player from another region. European discs for example won't play on most North American players.
I assume you mean to ask if a DVD player can play a video file recorded on an iPod. Maybe. iPod movies are recorded in MOV format. Check your player's specifications to see if it will play MOV files (some don't).
