5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, November 10, 1999

This is an excellent product for people travelling to india since in US the format is NTSC and in india it PAL. It gives a great resolution where u can connect to the camcorder/VCR and watch ur favourite recordings rather than going in for conversion. I would certainly recommend for those who have NTSC format to watch on PAL System.

3.0 out of 5 stars Handy inexpensive NTSC to PAL converter, January 11, 2000

I used this device in Europe and it works indeed. Handy, light weight and inexpensive compared to $600 professional alternatives. Picture is of reasonable quality however somewhat jerky with some repeating noise. Sound is MONO only and not great (low volume). Comes strangely enough with only a US 115 Vac, 60 Hz, external AC to DC converter with US style plug. So a 50 Watt travel transformer (220 Vac to 115 Vac, approximate cost $13) is required for use in Europe. Considering the low price a worthwile buy for the frequent traveler to Europe. Technically: 3 stars

This is the converter you need if you plan to buy VCR's or Camcorders from US and use it to view on Indian or European TV's.This is the best price I could get for a NTSC (USA TV mode) to PAL B,G,D,I (India & Europe) converter. BTW, PAL stands for Phase Alternating Line & NTSC stands for National TV Standards Committee.
