I don't think that's correct. There are differences in the number of
scanning lines and frame rate on NTSC and PAL DVDs.

There are - but neither are *fundamental* to PAL or NTSC.

With regard to your comment -- which is something like "there's no water
in a glass unless you've poured water into it" -- what sort of non-PAL
or non-NTSC-format material would you record on a video DVD?

If the material is sourced from a composite PAL recording, it will retain
the PAL footprint.
