You must know in what PAL or NTSC format the DV video was made. It depends on camera you used. At first, try to define the PAL or NTSC your DV source video. Then convert to the same TV standart. To change TV standart you will need special equipment such as PAL->NTSC->PAL transcoder - or special software. Don't think about it. You wanna make some WMV - in most cases it will be played on PC. Leave TV standard as on DV source.
P.S. Brazil has exclusive TV standard PAL60, but DV source I suppose will be PAL or NTSC

You can open source file in, for example, Canopus Pro coder and it will say all information on this source file, according to this information you can set up correct export settings for you vid

Thanks but I get it from DV tape...So I have to choose it already before I get it on my PC...

I assume when I choose NTSC when it's PAL or vice versa, I will notice it's bad right away?

check framerate if its 25fps its 99% sure PAL

virdub can do that

Yup, what he said. Frame rate is the giveaway.

when you get it as a file you do not need to bother when you use programs like Canopus Procoder. it depends on the camera they use whether you will get PAL or NTSC - in case it's DV and not HDV. when you need to read the tape yourself you'd need a matching camera or capture deck - when you get just the clip any of them should be fine. and i would try to get the clips in MPEG at 8000 kbit/s - which is DVD quality. then you could encode them to whatever quality or format you like.

DVD quality is between 4000-8000 kbsp
