Trying to edit "Final Cut" video and see results on a TV connected to Apple computer. NTSC monitor?

Question

Am using a VGA adapter and S-video cable between the computer and a TV. The TV display is the same as what's on the computer screen. I'm trying to get things connected so I will see what I'm producing exactly as it would be if it were already on a DVD being played on a home TV. Is the television displaying in NTSC or is it acting as a vga monitor? Any suggestions?

Answer 1

NTSC is simply a standard for resolution and refresh rate. Your video editing software would determine what resoltion and refresh rate your video would use. If you put a DVD in 6 different dvd players, you will get 6 (slightly)different looking pictures...
