Despite my searching, I am having a hard time gettgin a solid definition of a few common and basic terms.

Can somone point me to a glossery or give me a few definitions?

When do you use each of these:

PAL vs. NTSC: ?

Mpeg 1 vs. Mpeg 2: ?

Thanks!

PAL is only in Europe (and a few other places).
NTSC is only in North America (and a few other places).

Mpeg-1 is VCD only.
Mpeg-2 is SVCD and DVD.
