Looking for PAL versions of...

Little White Chicks #12 & #10 (Jake Steed), Heavy Metal (Rosebud), Nasty Nymphos 29 (Anabolic). Yes I know NTSC will play on modern UK PAL systems, but for various reasons, I'd still prefer PAL.

Cheers

PAL is a far superior format as it has more lines than NTSC and therefor more definition. The trouble is even if you find PAL versions they will most likely have been transferred from NTSC and therefor be even worse than the original NTSC.

You?re right Magoo, PAL would play better on UK systems, and yes, with a cheap conversion, the cons probably out weigh the pro?s.

But my reasoning for PAL is more related to buying an NTSC DVD or VHS and not being able make a VHS copy (just one and purely for personal use ? not to lend, hire, share or sell). All because mine, and 99.9% of UK VCR?s, can?t record from an NTSC source. So that back up copy (which I believe I?m legally entitled to make) I can?t have. I did investigate the whole NTSC/PAL thing for another project, so I know all the ways round this problem (converting VCR?s, ACE Box, Adobe after effects, tmpgenc, Canopus convertor, or simplist of all an NTSC recording VCR) but certainly no method as simple/cheap as hooking up existing PAL VCR and making a copy, which you would if the source was PAL.

Yes. Of course your right. I forgot about that.

I know mate. I hang my head in shame. The thing is I only ever order NTSC as a last resort. One of my favourite UK girls has done loads of work in the USA so I have to suffer the inferior quality that NTSC provides. The copying aspect slipped my mind. Silly me.

On a serious note though. You might want to check back on previous threads as a few people on here have offered to do free conversions. It would be rude of me to post details but if you want to email me(you have my addy) I can let you know who they are.

Heavy Metal (2?), at least, is available in PAL.
I've got it, but can't find it (yet......).

Course, if you DO what them transfered to PAL, let me know (will do it for tape and postage costs)
