There is nothing to do with NTSC anywhere on an "NTSC DVD" - just as there is no PAL encoding on a "PAL DVD" ! In both cases what is on the DVD is MPEG2 COMPONENT VIDEO files. As others have said the pixel framing will match what is normal on either NTSC or PAL TVs - but this is nothing to do with colour encoding!
The DVD PLAYER *MIGHT* add some NTSC or PAL colour encoding. But even then these days it probably will not! It won't for ANY of its RGB, Component or HDMI connections to the TV - only bog-standard Composite (and RF if provided) !




Bit like saying DVB-T is PAL because it's 576i at 25fps.”
Prepared to bet it's 29.97fps not 30.
