I originally got the NTSC version of a video and only 1 VCR in the house played it. Now that's broken I've ordered the PAL version so that I'm prepared for any VCR. I put the NTSC video in my VCR and all the TV screen shows is white lines across it and the sound is practically non-existant. Proof that not all VCRs are dual-mode. It's a SHARP VCR by the way.<br /><br /><B>Cartmaniac</B> - instead of a DVD, would a CD-R be OK as it's all I've got?
