Viggen Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 Are the format for VHS and DVD in Europe the same as in the US? I know the format for Camcorders are not the same. If they are not the same where to you get Euro compatible videos if they originate in the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 There is an industry plot to make you buy DVDs only in your area - its called Zone Control and there are easy ways to defeat it w/ a $75 DVD - look at http://www.nerd-out.com and look at the forums - especially the ones for the Daewoo 7600, 7400, and 3000N DVD players.

Oleg R Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 VHS format for the US and Europe are different. US uses NTSC format, most of Europe PAL. However (here in Europe), most high end video recorders and TV sets do 'understand' NTSC. Check your manuals. Some companies in the US provide PAL tapes, others not. Having it 'retaped' from NTSC to PAL is expensive. Most commercial DVD's suffer from this braindead regional system. A good example to the contrary is the set of (excellent) training DVD's from Matt Burkett. They are 'zone free' cheers Oleg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
