NTSC or Pal Format
• Pal is the Australian and European system used on TV.
•
NTSC system is used by North America countries like the USA.
If you try to view an NTSC video on an Australian TV, the picture will appear to flicker and you'll also see multi overlapping images.
So if you want to see an NTSC video from America you'll need to get it converted to PAL. The same holds true if you want to send someone in America movies you've taken. It will need to be converted from PAL into NTSC.
Yes, we can convert your videos from PAL to NTSC and from NTSC to PAL. Simply tell us you need
the format changed when when you place your order and we'll be happy to do it for you.
