Err.. In what way is PAL better then NTSC? NTSC may have about 100 lines less to scan, but it refreshes 10Hz faster then PAL. I used to work in a facility that had a lot of PAL dubbing... if I watched the PAL monitors for too long I would get a headache. You can actually watch PAL flicker. I must still be missing something even after working in Television. --- ----------------------------------------------------------- | Jason P.

At first I thought the machine was broken, but alas, it was not to be. :-( What is really sad is when PAL tapes still display better after having the video signal converted to NTSC by a pretty marginal converted... I wish I had a multi-standard TV now. :-( Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
