Standards Committee. PAL stands for Phase Alternating Line. NTSC is the standard broadcast format in the United States, while PAL is the standard broadcast format in Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia.
If you are an American who has tried to insert a movie from Europe into your DVD player, you will notice that the picture will be very scrambled and the sound quality will be absolutely terrible. The vast majority of DVD players that were manufactured for the United States are not backwards compatible with the PAL broadcast format.
Due to the electrical differences noted below, a PAL television would not work in the United States. The differences in resolution quality also account for why a PAL formatted DVD will not play properly play on an NTSC player. If you must play an NTSC formatted DVD on a PAL DVD player, or vice versa, there are conversion kits available. These kits can convert NTSC to PAL or PAL to NTSC. The downside to these conversion kits is that they can be very time consuming and the quality of the movies may be reduced upon completion
