I live in the UK so it will be taped in PAL Uk SP format. Its the short film directed by jaimee babbitt. The tape I have also has How to make a monster on it, so if you want the lot taping just let me know. All I ask for my trouble is that you send costs to cover for the tape and postage to where you live. Hope I can help you fellow Cleaites Or If you have How to make the Cruelest Month, you could help me. Thanks Jodes xx

Unfortunately TV norm conversion is not that easy - especially from PAL to NTSC. Easier would be a multi norm TV set, and a video recorder with PAL and NTSC playback. Here in Europe most TV sets and video recorders are able to handle NTSC (sometimes changed into PAL60), but I don't know about US-TVs and video recorders, as usually the USA don't care about other TV norms (you're happy with Never The Same Color ). Anyway, there're stores offering norm conversion for money - you can check that out.

Good old NTSC and it's wonderful frame rate. BTW, SophieCarny - NTSC and PAL are both VHS video format, it's the frame rate (the number of times a still image is displayed per second) they are recorded at that differs... so the playback quality suffers if you play NTSC in a PAL zone (machine) and vice versa. I think there is a NTSC/PAL convertor in most TVs these days, so the worst thing that happens is a lack of true colour, and a lot of lines when you press pause... or am I wrong?
	For me though, it's like I've given birth to my own baby girl. You know? Only she's, like, a big giant girl who smokes and says "shit" a lot.

If you play a PAL video on an NTSC video recorder (without PAL playback feature) the picture will be B/W - regardless if the TV is able to handle PAL signals or not, moreover it'll flicker, 'cause of different sync signals used (60 Hz vs 50 Hz) - another problem is that NTSC has 525 lines, while PAL has 625.

Nan, The Astronaut's Wife Posts: 267 Group: Members Member #13 Joined: November 24, 2003	Hi I am willing to send you out a copy of it on vhs to see if it works in your system. Dont worry about any costs. Just e-mail me on my msn msgr and I will sort something out. Also If My brother comes up good, I might have a way of getting it transfered from the vhs to a vcd. Take care Jodes

As I already mentioned a simple playback feature would be enough. But I doubt that US-video recorders offer such a PAL playback feature (cause it is more difficult), while almost all PAL/European video recorders offer NTSC playback (usually as PAL60 - which is NO real norm conversion!). Also if you want it on VCD/SVCD/DVD check whether you DVD player is able to handle PAL discs (or whoever encodes it, be sure to encode it in NTSC)!

Sophie, I don't have it on DVD, but - Jodie mentioned that she might send me a VHS copy, and I can convert VHS to quicktime/WMP and zip it to you on a disk for your computer - if the VHS thing doesn't work out for you. We'll see how it goes, hey? Fingers crossed for you.
