NTSC Camcorder: Use in PAL-World ?
Hi folks, I'm practically an absolute newbie in the DV-world and need some advice: I'm living currently in Mexico, so when I wanted to get started with DV the next best thing was to buy a camcorder in th US (DCR-TRV30). So I got this NTSC camcorder and I'm happy with it, but just lately it occured to me that I might not be able to use it when - within a year or so - I go back to Europe.
So, what would I have to do/buy, to be able to link this camcorder to a PAL TV set or VCR (that's sort of the hardware approach). Or what would it take to transfer the contents of my DV tapes to another type of media (tape, DVD, VCD or ?) in PAL format in order to use it on a European system ?
Any help is highly appreciated, I kind of have the feeling that I made a $ 1'000 investment without being quite aware of the long term implications.
Thanks,
Martin from Mexico
