PAL vs. NTSC
"I don't know if the difference between PAL & NTSC matters on a DVD or
not, but it has been recorded from a PAL video." This quote comes from someone who is offering me a soaring video. Can I use a PAL recording in the USA or find a way to make it playable? |

PAL vs. NTSC
Hi,
Maybe. Some of the latest DVD players sold in the USA can play PAL DVDs. My DVD player is just a year or 2 old and it can't. Likewise, many new computers sold in the USA can play both NTSC and PAL DVDs. My computer is about 2 to 3 years old and it plays PAL DVDs just fine. The same is true of DVD players outside the USA. Many new ones can play NTSC DVDs. I sell NTSC DVDs to customers outside the USA often - clearly stating on my web site that they may or may not work outside the USA. I can't recall having any come back to me. Best Regards, Paul Remde Cumulus Soaring, Inc. "Nyal Williams" wrote in message ...

Be careful of "region-coded" DVDs; many players will only accept a limited number of region changes - too many and they are designed to lockup. That can also apply to computer players. In case of difficulty, consider - ripping the DVD and changing its format using something like "ffmpeg" - uploading it to youtube always presuming there are no copyright issues Likewise, many new computers sold in the USA can play both NTSC and PAL DVDs. *My computer is about 2 to 3 years old and it plays PAL DVDs just fine. |

PAL vs. NTSC
Hi,
I disagree about the TV being able to support PAL. I believe that many new U.S. DVD players can play a PAL DVD just fine and it will display fine on any TV.

PAL vs. NTSC
I know that I am not answering the direct question, but I was told
that NTSC for the format used in the U.S. stands for "Never Twice the Same Color " Cheers, Charles |

PAL DVDs: 720*576 pixels at 25Hz NTSC DVDs: 720*480 pixels at 29.97Hz So not any TV, but any "modern" TV, for an appropriate definition of "modern". |

I use my macintosh computer to play my PAL videos from both europe and new zealand. |
