I have written and article that might help and it also includes the
narrative of the restoration process on this piece.

Most modern DVD players in the USA are able to play
PAL format DVDs. They automatically convert the PAL
encoding to suit US TV systems (NTSC).
This is transparent to the user.
But older DVDs do not
have this capability. So I always format the DVDs I
produce as NTSC whenever I get an order from the US
to ensure that anyone over there can play them.
A PC or Mac that has a DVD drive and appropriate software will also be able to play a DVD whatever the format.
