Converting PAL /NTSC (and other video standards)
The software is capable of recording NTSC, PAL, and many other video tape standards from
around the world. It is possible, however, that your computer system may not correctly
recognize the video signal from a tape made in a foreign country. In this case you would
typically experience black and white video.
