Thanks. I was pretty sure that was the case-we used to be able to project PAL 
VHS tapes using a multi-standard player hooked up to a projector.

Subject: Re: [Videolib] PAL DVD


<<<
A code-free (region-free) DVD player does the conversion to NTSC...the
projector doesn't do anything except project the converted signal...
>>>
        No, some higher end LCD projectors make a further adustment according 
to the type of video signal.  I sometimes have to correct our projector when it 
has changed to a PAL setting by itself, even tho the signal is NTSC.
        The distance between the player and the projector can be a factor in 
causing this error (especially if it's ceiling-mounted projector and therefore 
guaranteed to be quite far from the player, leading to a partially scrambled 
signal).

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues 
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, 
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and 
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective 
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication 
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and 
distributors.
