Re: Guy from "Sopranos" country, USA, needs a favor.



To play back a PAL 625 tape in the USA then a standards converter is the
only way. It's PAL 625 50 to NTSC 525 60 which is an entirely different
matter! FAR better to get a DVD copy made of the prog as this will at least
play on a computer.

If I am misunderstanding the request and a TELEVISION replay is required
then it's a standards converter that's required.

Expecting a 50 quid video to actually convert the line and frame rate is not
on, it just converts the colour system.
Modern TVs will play both 50 and 60 frames per second only because they have
a special frame chip.

Before anyone comments PAL/SECAM conversion IS possible as they are both
625/50.
