I'm reencoding a PAL DVD with x264 in order to restore the original frame rate and burn in subs. The resulting file will be playing on North American equipment. Do I need to do anything to adjust for the slightly different color primaries between NTSC and PAL SD, or does x264 handle this for me automatically? Mediainfo on the original PAL DVD rip reports Primaries=BT.601 PAL, Transfer=BT.470 B/G, and Matrix Coefficients=BT.601.

Thanks for any guidance.
