I have a Mitsubishi VCR (PAL), which plays NTSC and SECAM tapes, without
any difficulty at all. It's a wonderful beast, loaded with bells and
whistles. The cost? 449 pounds sterling, which is about 50 pounds more
than one with similar features and no NTSC. It only does playback,
however, and supposedly, the output cannot be rerecorded on PAL.
Probably because the horizontal and vertical frequencies haven't
been converted - my TV hasn't any problem with them though. The only
minor nit is there's no way of telling that it is interpreting an
NTSC tape (besides the poor line resolution :). I use it for checking
that NTSC telecine's are done correctly. If the lab sends me an NTSC
tape which is accidentally PAL, I'd never know...
