155396 2003-06-26 11:52:00 Hi...I have just found two old movies at Amazon that I want for really sentimental reasons. Using Amazon will be a first for me but more important is the question of compatability, so any answers to the following couple of questions would be great.

Both my video player and TV support ntsc and pal. To play the ntsc tape must I set them both up to ntsc or just one of them? And what is the resulting picture quality and sound like?

One of the movies is on DVD. Will it play ok on a local DVD player, and again, will both the player and the video have to be set up for ntsc?

I haven't bought a DVD player yet but will look for an all zone model.

Thanks for any suggestions....Ken

No, u don't have to move anything on the TV if the movies is NTSC... the video recorder will adjust it automatically and also if the tv can support NTSC, you don't have to change it as well, it will adjust it automatically as well

If you buy a movies in NZ, you need to have a Zone 4 DVD player, which is PAL, you can't view anything on NTSC format....

Alternatively, you may buy a DVD movies from Dicksmith, they are all mutli-zone dvd player, it can play NTSC or PAL format....
