We are having a DVD manufactured which will be distributed worldwide.

The question is, should it be NTSC only, or NTSC+PAL (double-sided)?

If only a tiny number of people would need the PAL version, it might be better to just have NTSC to avoid the problem of people putting it in upside down. Also, a one-sided disc is cheaper and will allow us to have a design on the other side.

It will be Region 0 (suitable for all regions).

Probably cheaper to produce Region 0 NTSC and a small number of Region 0 PAL separately, and distribute accordingly.

Thanks NazNomad.

Do you know which countries the PAL ones would be needed for, or what proportions would you suggest?

I think that that map is of television standards or video tape standards - it's not about DVD standards, because there's no such thing as a SECAM DVD, is there?
