WOW.. way wrong.

PAL and NTSC are different, but not that different. Resolution n PAL is higher than NTSC, but bitrate on NTSC is higher than PAL.
They balance out. But BOTH are "Standard Definition".

Low def is for things that truely are low def, lower than what a standard TV uses... internet, ipods, phones, etc. DVDs (PAL and NTSC) are standard, as is VHS although the quality is lower. BD is High def.
Ultra High is only on film and special equipment.
