The multiformat VCR's mentioned (at least the models I know of), to my
knowledge, use variants of the standards (at least NTSC-2 (NTSC stands for
National Television Standards Commitee)(there might be a PAL variant as well))
which are not the same as the ones in general use (NTSC and PAL). The tape, if
it will play in the machine, will produce a poor or unplayable copy on the NTSC
machine. IMHO get the PAL copy and find a commercial video conversion service
to make an NTSC copy. Much less headache. You're lucky it isn't in SECAM (YAVS
(Yet another Video Standard)) format.
