    Hello Everyone,
    I am looking for help to convert my Sony Digital video camera from Pal to NTSC. I got it from Malaysia, and when i tried to hooked up with the TV to watch what I have recorded, the picture comes out shaky, unclear and in back and white. I was told the the system is different from that used in Canada. What do I do? How can I convert my Digital Video camera to the System used in Canada to be able to watch my recorded videos on a big screen :( Apparently the Asian system is different even if I was using a Sony TV :(
    I would really appreciate your help.

    It's impossable to convert the camcorder to NTSC, however you could use software to convert the footage recorded into a DVD or VCD. This could then be viewed on NTSC equipment.

    Hey Nadaba,
    What model Sony Camera do you have.
    I have an NTSC, but need a PAL camera - we might be able to exchange.
    Regards,

    Hey Dean!

    During a trip to Australia i bought a Sony Handycam *DCR-TRV33e* (a PAL based handycam). However, since i live in Canada, i cant use it anymore. So , i was hoping maybe we could trade?! :-D


    Cheers.


    ps: its hardly been used. paid over $2,200 AUD for it.
