    If I recorded a video with a camcorder in PAL format can I play it on NSC equipment, TV, computer, etc.? If I can play it will it look good?

    Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    I assume this will be a disk (that has been finalized).
    It will play on the PC ok.

    Many (most?) North American standalone DVD players will refuse a PAL disk.
    Check the specifications for the player.
    EG my Philips DVP5992 lists 'Playback' > 'Multistandard (PAL/NTSC)' and it will play both types.

    Thanks Attar!

    I am looking at buying a camcorder that has a 60GB HDD and only records in PAL. I guess the bottom line is that I need to make sure that the player will play the PAL format. I will check my DVD player and see if it will play both. I will also be using it on the PC.

    Again thanks for your help!

    Try unplugging the machine for a while then power up.
    I haven't run into this problem so I can't offer anything except Google.

    If you post your findings at the Videohelp site it might assist the next person with the problem.
