Yep, the slight difference in frame rate, color encoding, and dimensions make
PAL->NTSC (or NTSC->PAL) difficult.

	The good news is that there ARE multi-standard VCR's which can play
PAL tapes, all can feed a monitor, and some are able to trick your _TV_ into
displaying an adequate image. The trouble comes when you try to record to a
NTSC VHS VCR.

BTW: I have a video card which can take PAL or NTSC, in S-Video or composite,
and output VGA, NTSC S-Video or composite, or (with an extra encoder) PAL.

I'm not sure home much help this video card (Cardinal SnapCard) would be if
I wanted to transfer pal videotapes from a multi-standard vcr.

Comments anyone?
