No merlin, all equal to 1.33333~(infinity), which is 4/3.

And do take notice, that the PAL system, (which IS better than NTSC, we have more pixels in total ) has a resolution of 720x576, which, if you divide on one another, equals 1.25, while you have 720x480, which equals 1.5. And that's WAY out of the 4:3 definition. However, both PAL and NTSC seems like 4:3, because they simply "stretch" the lines a little, so it fits on the 4:3 shaped screen. Even so, PAL has a higher resolution.

Comparison between Pal and NTSC can be found here, since you seem so obsessed about it, and this article is objective, and favors neither, except that it rates the PAL resolution better. (As you see in the chart at the top).

Pal vs. NTSC

Another thing.. conversion from NTSC to PAL is rather unproblematic, but the other way around.. heh.. problems!

Conversion and progressive scan, and why PAL doesn't really need it!
