A HREF=http://www.fountainslace.biz/index.htm;Fountains Home Page/A --- Dear Lacemakers, Perhaps I did not make it understood - that you must buy the Springett videos from the supplier that has the videos that can be played on equipment in your country. I gave you the web site addresses for both Linda Fountain (UK) and Holly Van Sciver (USA) for that reason. The video equipment in the UK is not the same as in the USA. People in other countries around the world usually understand this and will contact the appropriate supplier, but perhaps people in the UK (who should buy VHS format videos) and USA (who should buy NTSC format videos) need a reminder. I think I have the terminology correct -- electric equipment is not my specialty. It was explained to me years ago. And, when I wanted to send a video to India, Holly explained it had to be ordered from Linda Fountain in the UK. Hope this makes sense to you all.

Hi Jeri and anyone else who is interested: The format used in the UK and many other countries is called PAL, not VHS. The acronyms PAL and NTSC refer to the resolution of how your television set displays images: PAL stands for phase alternating line or phase alternation by line depending on whose definition you look at. NTSC stands for National Television Standards Committee and is the standard in the USA and Canada. VHS stands for video home system. VHS tapes can be in both PAL and NTSC formats.

Adele North Vancouver, BC - Dear Adele, Thank you for clarifying. I took the reference directly from the 2003 Fountain catalog, which says All videos are in VHS format. Sorry for the confusion.
