I would liek to suggest the followig workflow:

1. Select the menu option Edit..Preferences
2. Select the desired format PAL.
3. When you want to produce the DVD, go straight to the DVD Create option.

Some players are capable of playing both NSTC and PAL DVDs and a lot of the time your choice of output should be based on the type of clips you are using.

If you fail, then you could always produce two different discs, one for PAL and one for NTSC.

I hope this helps.

Your question appears to be a little unclear to me but maybe the following will help.
1) DVD-R is a non-rewriteable format and it is compatible with about 93% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs.
2) DVD+R is a non-rewritable format and it is compatible with about 89% of all DVD Players and most DVD-ROMs
3) Purchase a high quality media for your final project burns, some cheap brands are good to use a trial burns but expect some coasters!
A ton of info on media and players can be found at

I hope this addresses your question.
