Re: NTSC <===> PAL
Apparently-To: floyd!clyde!akgua!psuvax!psuvm%iks

PAL cassettes can only be played on PAL-compatible VCR's--regardless
of the TV.  There are, however, some VCR's that will play PAL
tapes and convert the signal so that it can be played on an NTSC
TV or copied onto an NTSC tape.  PAL tapes can only be made with
a VCR designed to record PAL.  The camera must also be a PAL
camera unless the VCR is designed to accept an NTSC signal and
convert it.  A PAL camera cannot drive an NTSC-only VCR.
