The following is a quick overview of i-BizDVD...

NTSC vs. PAL/SECAM:

Unfortunately, since the inception of television there has not been a global standard for video formats. North America, most of Asia-Pacific, and some other regions use a format known as NTSC. While Europe and other significant regions use formats called PAL/SECAM.

As such source video, videotapes, and DVD's of one regional format are not compatible with video/DVD devices in the other. Requiring that specific formats, NTSC or PAL/SECAM be produced, and format conversion processes be employed to reuse source video across regions.

PAL/SECAM DVD's:

In addition to NTSC, BizDVD projects can be produced as PAL/SECAM format DVD's. Allowing your marketing campaign to reach prospects directly, or be used by representatives internationally.

Multi-Language DVD's:

The inherent capabilities of DVD, includes the ability to handle 8 seperate sound/language tracks, and up to 32 sub-title tracks. This together with the ability to author multi-language menu systems. Makes DVD ideal for addressing multi-language markets and regions, both in the US and internationally.

BizDVD projects can be produced in NTSC format with, for example English and Spanish. sound tracks and/or sub-titles. As well as produced as PAL/SECAM format DVD's, with say English, French, German, and Italian.

Disc labeling and packaging can be produced in either alternate languages, or multi-language versions.

Int'l Video Conversions:

Frequently, our customers are multinational companies that wish to use existing international PAL/SECAM video in the US. DVDuJour performs direct conversions to DVD, as well as converting and incorporating PAL/SECAM video as assets into NTSC based BizDVD projects.
