There are such devices as `television standards' converters used for that very purpose. And since the television industry is going all digital, it probably won't be long before you can get a used one on Ebay or through some other broadcast equipment supplier. One of the other ways, is by using your computer and making the conversion through either a software application or possibly even a particular make and type of video card. For instance, my ATI video card can play either NTSC or PAL, and I've seen quite a few free proggies on the net for doing standards conversions. But, you gotta spend some time diggin' for em because they're up against the commercial software makers. You may be better off just trying to convert your video into a different format, such as .wav. Divx, Quicktime, etc. using your computer. Then take if from there. Too many options and plenty of ways to experiment to get the results you want.

How do you convert pal to ntsc?
PAL and NTSC vary in 2 major ways: Color Signal and Refresh Rate. You would a converter which will convert both the Color and the Refresh Rate. Some convert just the color since some TVs support both 50 and 60 Hertz, but it is better to get one that will convert Color and Hertz (Refresh Rate). These can be bought online.

Can any VCR play VHS tapes?
Only a VHS or S-VHS machine can play VHS tapes. Even then there may be restrictions around the television system, for example not all PAL (European) VHS machines can play NTSC (USA) recordings, and very few PAL models would play SECAM (France) recordings. There are also considerations around recording speed. Most modern VHS machines will play Long Play tapes, but since Long Play is not part of the VHS format, they may not play particularly well. In NTSC countries there are also EP recordings, but this system was not widely available in the PAL markets. Furthermore, certain time-lapse recordings from security type recorders will not play on a normal VHS player. Of course, if the machine is not VHS based at all, then the tape will not play (and in almost all cases will not even physically fit onto) a non VHS machine. Formats apart from VHS include Betamax, Betacam, Umatic, Video8/Hi8, miniDV/DV/DVCAM, V2000, MII, and dozens more besides.
How do i convert Nintendo Wii games from NTSC to Pal?
PAL is the European color encoding system while NTSC is the North American system. If material has been encoded in PAL it is also (almost always) using a 50Hz field rate with 576 lines making up the image while NTSC will be 60Hz with 480 lines. To perform a full conversion, a new signal must be generated from the original. The field rate needs to be changed and the number of lines also needs to be changed. Both are complex processes requiring some powerful computing. Broadcasters use the technique on a regular basis whenever content is created in one system and broadcast in the other. Typically, they will spend $50000 on a standards converter to do the job. Domestic equivalents are available at a much lower cost but the conversion quality normally leaves something to be desired. Despite the lower quality, domestic standards converters will still run into thousands of dollars. If a full conversion needs to be done, there are post production houses that can carry out the conversion at a fraction of the cost of the converter. Most will only convert material when they are sure that copyright will not be infringed by doing so. If it's a commercial DVD, most will refuse to convert or copy it. All is not lost though. Most modern DVD players and televisions will handle both standards. Playing a PAL DVD on North American equipment is possible if you are lucky enough to have compatible equipment. In Europe, it is even more likely that the equipment will be multi-standard. Once again, there is a potential problem: Commercial DVDs are often limited to certain regions. A DVD coded for use in North America will not be playable in other parts of the world. The limitation is there to enforce distribution agreements. Despite having multi-standard equipment, the regional coding may stop you playing the DVD. This coding does not apply to home produced DVDs so it's well worth trying if the DVD is your won creation.
Can a DVD bought in the USA be seen in France on a French DVD player?
In short no. France and much of Europe use a different system for their TV's. the US use NTSC and Europe uses PAL. They are not compatible. The only way to get around it is to either copy the DVD to your computer and re-burn it in PAL format; or make sure that the person you are sending the DVD to has a multi-region DVD player.

pal
What does Pal mean on tv?
PAL is the color encoding method used in Europe and other parts of the world. North America, Japan and other countries use NTSC. Although the two encoding methods are similar, the signals are not compatible. A third color standard used by France is SECAM. SECAM is used in a handful of other countries but is not a common standard. PAL and SECAM encoded signals are normally used at 50Hz while NTSC normally uses 59.94Hz. There are some rare exceptions to these field rates but it is normally safe to assume that 50Hz material will be PAL encoded and 59.94Hz will be NTSC encoded.
Will a spanish tv work in Bulgaria?

Countries using pal format?
PAL is the color encoding system developed by the British and Germans. It differed from the American NTSC encoding system in several ways and the two are not directly compatible. Because of the British links to the rest of the world, most British colonies (currently or previously) use PAL. This now extends to most of Europe, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. The Americas and the far East tend to be NTSC regions but for a full list, there are many web sites that show every country and the formats they use. France chose a different format when it began color broadcasts, known as SECAM. Although SECAM is still used for the final broadcast, all television production uses PAL format for ease of signal processing. The content is converted to SECAM for distribution to viewers. Several of the French colonies still use SECAM although the format is becoming less popular. With the advent of high definition television, PAL, NTSC and SECAM are no longer used. Each of them are color encoding systems for standard definition signals only and encoding for HD does not use them. However, HD is still often incorrectly referred to as PAL or NTSC. Partly, this is due to the fact that NTSC uses a 60Hz frame rate while PAL uses a 50Hz frame rate. The move to HD has retained the differing frame rates. HD PAL therefore is more properly known as 50Hz HD.

Can you buy multi system full hd lcd TVs in the UK?
The majority of UK televisions will now handle multiple standards. The UK colour standard is PAL while the US uses NTSC. Similarly, UK uses 50Hz field rates compared to 60Hz in the US. It is common for UK televisions to be able to handle 60Hz. Most will decode NTSC. It is important to check that NTSC and 60Hz broadcast frequencies are supported before buying. The only way to check is to read the manual or speak to the manufacturer. Sadly, most in store salesmen will not be able to answer the question and whatever the answer might be in store, it cannot be taken as gospel. Some warnings: A UK television taken to the US is unlikely to receive broadcast television. A television that handles NTSC will only play North American DVDs in conjunction with a DVD player that is not region coded. Finally, while almost the whole world uses either PAL or NTSC, France and a handful of other countries uses a colour encoding system called SECAM. Few televisions and video processors will handle SECAM so if the intention is to replay French content, selecting the right television may prove more challenging.
Can you use your 240v 50hz tv in the USA using a step up transformer and if you could will it be bad for the equipment?
Yes, you can use a 240v 50hz TV in the USA with a step-up transformer, but be sure the transformer can handle the power requirements of the TV. Using a transformer should not harm the equipment as long as it is of good quality and appropriate for the task.
