re: .0
My girlfriend's brother came back from over a decade in
Britain over a year ago and he told us that they don't have the
same format for tv there. Is this so? Do you have "American"
(Japanese?) VHS? If so, I have a copy of the series (complete
with commercials, of course.) I now have access to a super VHS
vcr so that I can probably copy the tape without losing too much.
So, maybe we could work something out?

1049.2 | PAL vs NTSC | REGENT::WAGNER | | Wed May 10 1989 14:06 | 9 |
| He is refering to the lower level make up of the scanning signal
of the video. The PAL standard is used in Europe and the NTSC standard
is used in the USA. The two are totally incompatable. Unless somebody
in the USA would happen to have a PAL recorder, just copying a VHS
formatted tape from one to another would be of no use if both recorders
are on the NTSC standard.

1049.3 | yes, please | YUPPY::GEMERTM | | Thu May 11 1989 07:00 | 9 |
| I know the problems NTSC versus PAL. When one plays NTSC on a PAL
machine there isn't a lot to see. Conversion here in Britain is
very expensive (#60 per recorded hour). However, I know quite a
few people who have a machine that plays both so indeed I would
be very interested in having an NTSC version, Frederick, so name
your price! Thanks ever so much.

1049.4 | Well, where are you? | MISERY::WARD_FR | Going HOME--as an Adventurer | Fri Jun 09 1989 17:14 | 9 |
| Meta,
I have tried to contact you via vaxmail but since you haven't
responded I don't know what's going on. In any case, as per our
previous discussions, I have the tape ready for you. Please contact
me and I will arrange to mail it to you.
