->
->Iam sorry to say, this person don't have any theoratical or practical knowledge
->of the video signal. You can't say that All analogue RGB rates are not NTSC
->compatible, Analogue RGB in video world, ie Broadcast and Domestic is One volt
->p-p, NTSC, is 60 Hz, and 525 lines. Pal is 50 Hz, and 625 lines. And no more
->crap.

I think what Vidiot was trying to say is that he knows of no COMPUTER analog
(analogue :-) signals that are at the NTSC frame rates other than the signals
he mentioned.

mike

p.s. shouldn't that be "craoup" instead of "crap"?
