NTSC playback on PAL player question
Long time lurker, First time poster.
(I hope this first post of mine is in the right place! ) I have learned a lot from this forum and I did not think I would ever have to ask a question, Normally I just do a search and find an answer :-) Anyway I have a minidv tape coming from the US with some footage on it. I expect it will be NTSC. My question is when I receive this tape does anybody know if I will be able to play this tape in either a PAL JVC HR-DVS2 svhs-minidv player or the PAL Canon XL2,?. In my search I did find a post stating that someone had played a PAL tape in a NTSC Sony camera but I got the impression it was a feature of the camera. Cant find any mention of it in the manual. All info Welcome. TIA |

Nope
For anybody interested...
Just got the tape, tried it in both the Canon and JVC.. and it did not work in either. All I got was a scrambled picture.. :-( The footage is of Ryan Sheckler A pro skater I got it from Redbull for a editing competition... because it took so long to get here I dont think I will have time to track down a NTSC player, capture then edit to a reasonable standard, and send back in time for the cut of date!! (15th march).. Oh well I will know for next time!! |

I've found that HDV is different from regular DV. Basically, HDV is the same color space and size in both 60i and 50i -- the frame rates are just different. So, I am able to play PAL HDV tapes on an NTSC HDV camera, the Sony HDR-FX1, which is NOT able to record in PAL and, as far as I can tell, is not listed in the manual as being able to play PAL -- I discovered it by complete accident. But if it's regular DV, it won't work. |
