Videotapes or DVD's around the world are in three different formats or accepted
"standards": NTSC, PAL, and SECAM.
Because of these multiple standards, videotapes from foreign countries
must be con verted to the American television standard, NTSC, in order to
be played on domestic VCR's.
Likewise, videotapes recorded in the NTSC format must be
converted to one of the other standards in order to be viewable in other
countries. To see the list of standards by country, click
