DVD Style’s output becomes PAL instead of NTSC even if you choose NTSC

When you make a DVD with DVD Styler, in some DVD players, you won’t get to see them.

If you’re on the PAL side, then there shouldn’t be nothing wrong with it, but if you live in the NTSC side, you might encounter into problems.

You often will get the error message of “This DVD is not NTSC”, “DVD is PAL” or something similar to it.

I know, you’ve made every possible settings as NTSC. I ran into the same problem. But unfortunately, DVD Styler has a bug that makes your DVD into PAL instead of NTSC.

Before you go on forward, some screenshots are in Japanese, but Media Player Classic and IfoEdit softwares are in English so you get the idea as its easy enough.


Analysis of what’s wrong.

  • When you try to play it on a DVD player, you get “Not an NTSC disc.” or its in PAL so you can’t play it bro”.
