  I would go further and advise against NTSC. Done properly it can be fine but PAL is a better system IMHO so buy a PAL unit. If the NTSC is appealingly cheap then there is a good reason for it.

    Steven Soderbergh's new film "Full Frontal" was shot using three PAL format Canon XL-1s mini DV cameras. The increased resolution and closer to film frame rate were no doubt factors in the decision.

  Not unless the television display is capable of multiple formats. NTSC is 60 fields, 30 frames, 525 lines. PAL is 50 fields, 25 frames, 625 lines. There are also great differences in the methods of color encoding/decoding between the two standards.

  • Most TVs in Europe support Pal/NTSC/Secam - Halcy 06:06:18 04/07/02 (0)

    Most modern televisions sold now or in the past five years in Europe support PAL 50Hz, NTSC 60Hz, pseudo PAL 60Hz and Secam, so they work well with gear from US if the input signal is either composite or s-video.

    Best to check with the tv model in question though.

    cheers,
