Pal 4:3 or 16:9

I have to send a home movie, (no not that kind of movie ) to Scotland from the US and was going to setup my mpegs for TMPGEnc DVD Author with TMPGEnc Plus. not sure which format to use 4:3 or 16:9 that will play in Scotland on a home DVD player. Any Help?

Either will play, and Yes even in backwards Scotland! 4:3 (normal) and 16:9 (widescreen) are just the aspect ratio.

I think your confusing PAL and NTSC with aspect ratio. Scotland is PAL, the US is NTSC. But 99% of PAL dvd players will playback NTSC as well so no conversion really needed. Most captures are 4:3 normal TV aspect ratio, so just leave it at that.

Actually Chickenman I just encoded the mpegs as PAL 4:3. I did not realize the DVD players would play both formats. I haven't been to Europe for along time, just about when DVD players first came out and wasn't sure if one aspect ratio was more common or compatible with the televisions. Maybe I'll send one copy NTSC and one PAL .
