dvd recorder that records PAL and NTSC | ||

| I've read that there are recorders capable of recording PAL and NTSC. I've got a Samsung MultiSystem VCR that plays NTSC, PAL, and SECAM tapes and was wondering if I got a recorder that could record PAL and set the Samsung to PAL output, would one of those recorders actually do a PAL recording? | ||

| The old Philips machines used to record PAL and NTSC (via the RCA/Cinch connectors - and I think it worked with S-video too)....but that was quite a few years ago. Not many DVD recorders actually "advertise" the fact that their machine records both....most of us found out by trial and error....like I did with my old Philips DVDR985...that still works by the way....just don't record much to DVDR anymore.
Somebody else will chime in soon with a newer model that records both I'm sure. | ||

| WI has many DVDRs that record in NTSC and PAL. Some even convert from one to the other on the fly.
http://www.world-import.com/panasonic-dvd-r.htm I almost bought one of those Philips 985s used last year until I started reading old posts. Count yourself lucky yours is still working :lol: | ||

| My Pioneer does it, so long as you tell it what the input system will be. Even does PAL60. | ||

Places like Import World can be and often are a HUGE RIPOFF too. Charging extra money for applying a simple do-it-yourself region hack and exchanging a power plug on a unit that is already set up from the factory to accept 110V through 220V is the stuff of moronic legend. |
