Re: VHS to PAL DVD Transfers?

Hello,

Which hard drive you play on doesn't matter. Computers can play both PAL and
NTSC video.

Hello,

The problem is not with the hard drive or how you played it.

The problem is most likely with the way the file was created. NTSC and PAL
only matters if you play it on a TV screen, not computer monitor.

The better quality VHS needs to be captured (or 'converted') at a NTSC
resolution if it is a NTSC tape for best quality. NTSC and PAL tapes need to
be in different resolutions.

Are you saying the black and white (lower quality) VHS that was
converted to PAL may play better when it gets to Europe?
