- CANADA DOES USE THE NTSC VIDEO FORMAT!
- That is why border TV stations can be picked up in either
- Canada or the States.
-
- PAL is the video format used in Europe, except for France
- and the former Soviet Union countries which use the SECAM
- video format. I`m not sure about the rest of the world.
-
- To convert a video tape from one format to another, just
- check around with video stores to see if they have the
- equipment to convert a tape for you. Also check with
- your local cable company.
