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.

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). - Stephen Davies Mount Royal University, Calgary
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.
