Hi, apparently this Sony High Definition Camcorder is an NTSC system-based camcorder. It doesn't shoot PAL video system. -Ely

It's NTSC-U, so it will only work for NTSC-U consoles. You'll need to find a PAL version.

This unit records in Digital HD. When you edit the file, depending upon your software, you will have the option to save the edited video in any format available to your software. PAL is a transmission format, and a format required by analog TV's in certain countries. You can make a PAL compatible DVD with the right editing software.

Yes, it converts the PAL signal to play on an NTSC TV. You don't have to do anything special if it's an all-region disc. For discs that are region specific, you have to reset through the preferences menu, which is explained in other reviews.

I think it shouldn´t matter since you are downloading into a PC. Then if you burn a DVD, a lot of DVD players in Europe play both NTSC and PAL

I bought the NTSC version and I can confirm that it works on a PAL tv. There is an option in settings where you can select PAL or NTSC. I can only assume that a PAL version also works on an NTSC tv...

To me, that VCR plays only NTSC (U.S, Canada, Mexico, Japan, etc). It did not play my PAL VHS (common in Europe,Asia, and Africa). Sadly, the return policy from the seller was not fair to me since I would lose more money if I decided to do so. Uselessly, I ended up to keep it. Good luck!

Yes you can. This camera records in two formats. .MOV is easier to import but not 100% full-HD. The other format, you have to download a specific player. Do a little research on google and you will get a lot of good tips online. Thanks.

Does anyone know whether it will convert PAL/NTSC DVD when using TV out and connecting to NTSC/PAL TV? The manual says, that the DVD has to match the TVs system, which would mean it won't convert.I need a player I can take oversees and hook up to a TV over there. It also would be nice to be able to do the same with PAL discs over here. So far from high end players I found only Pana LS91/97 which are close to that, but it requires service remote to unlock regions and is stil missing PAL->NTSC conversion.

The DVRs can do PAL, but the cameras are NTSC only for North America and will now work with PAL. The customer can use same Q-See DVR and just buy PAL cameras from other country and they will work with the DVR.Thank you

No, if I remember correctly PAL is a European mode of Video. I am pretty sure that is correct but I could be wrong, if so very sorry!!!

It depends where you purchase the camera. In countries using PAL (i.e. Europe), the camera has PAL; in countries using NTSC (The Americas) the camera will have NTSC. You cannot switch between the two systems.

I do not have anything with the PAL format, so I don't know. Maybe someone else has tried it. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

There is nothing in the manual about switching to PAL. The manuel only mentions support from areas using NTSC.

As far as I know, this will allow you to play your NTSC DVD on a NTSC player but watch it on a Pal tv. It is a simple conversion box without any computing ability so will let you watch but it won't let you convert the files in any way and save them differently.

The Sony PD170 I bought from the US records in NTSC but I converted it to PAL for the UK and Africa

Yes. You can record in multiple formats. I personally prefer H.264. I was using AVI for a while but the file size was too huge.
