"what codec you guys gonna use on dvd is it for dvd players, or to read on computer?"

ah, ok... yeah this will be a video dvd, as in for a dvd player. not a dvd-rom or anything. regular movie. it will be region-free (for those whos players care).

as for other stuff, our first goal will be ntsc. i am not sure if dvd studio pro can magically also make a pal version? i do not know much about this stuff. is there even pal/ntsc in dvd players? or can, say, a european player play *anything* as long as it is region-free?
