Characteristics of Video Formats
All video formats achieve the same basic goal: they store black-and-white or color
information as electronic lines that make up a video frame. The number of video frames
recorded per second varies depending on the video standard the format supports (for
example, NTSC formats are recorded at 29.97 fps; PAL formats are recorded at 25 fps).
