Need to convert PAL to NTSC?

Good news - your cousin in Scotland is sending you copies of family movie videotapes. Or, you just ordered a concert video tape or DVD from Spain. In both cases, the excitement fades rapidly when you open the package and put them into your American VCR.

This is because European tapes won't play in your American VCR. This is because European tapes and DVDs are recorded in PAL Format, as opposed to the American NTSC format. Equestrian enthusiasts run into this a lot with tapes and DVDs they obtain of events in Germany - generally PAL format
PAL stands for Phase Alternating Lines and is a 25 frames per second video technology. NTSC stands for National Television Standards Committee and is a 30 frames per second video technology.
