Trust me, there's always a "native" format, and a converted format. Since most multi-system video devices seem to come from Europe, they would naturally be "native" PAL or SECAM format, and NTSC would be the converted format. I've brought my NTSC-only VHS VCR and DVD player from the US, and they do just fine on our TV (a high-end Sony Trinitron). But they also did just fine on our old TV from the US (also a high-end Sony Trinitron), which happens to be in the basement. I'm quite certain that if I hooked up a splitter from the VCR or the DVD player and put the same video signal on both TVs, it would look better on the true native NTSC format television than they would on the one that has its own built-in NTSC/PAL converter. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
