Answer 1

PAL and NTSC are color encoding systems. Which means your camcorder records with PAL format. And the computer is adjusted to NTSC. Try to proceed, you may be have some problems with colors.

Answer 2

PAL is the european standard for movies. NTSC is the US standard. PAL is slightly better qaulity.

It shouldn't cause any real problems.
