They did, actually - North American TV's or in a format called PAL, and
European TV's are in some other format.  (Or mayber European was PAL.)
And neither one can play the other's VHS tapes without a converter.

If I'm allowed to ask:
Is there a JediNet in the US or the UK or a fidocompatible network dealing
with Star Wars? I'm a host of the German JediNet and I'm trying to find
foreign links. Before writing this message I searched the Lycos database in
the Internet for any hints and I scanned the mails in this area for the
expressions 'JEDINET' and 'FAQ', as the echo FAQ could contain some data. But
I didn't get the desired results. Therefore I would be very glad, if someone
could give me the address of an American or British JediNet node. ISDN is
preferred, of course. As an alternative, I am interested in the FAQ of this
echo, respectively an address where it is available.
Thanks,

Write your reply.

assistant: re: No no no... DVD players...
 That's NOT what I meant (re: NTSC vs PAL VHS). DVD players are supposed to
play any format Disc. The output notwithstanding, if you were to try to play
a Japanese DVD in a US DVD player, the encoding on the disc and inthe  player
would prevent the player from playing the DVD.
 This was supposed to be a "feature" of DVD players. If so, I'm not buying.
 re: The Video format differences...
 NTSC, PAL, SECAM... But the tapes themselves are the same... Nothing
prevents one from playing a PAL VHS in an NTSC player. The speed is screwed
and the video doesn't come out. You can watch a PAL tape in an RCA CCD
full-size videocamera. A Friend of mine played a home video from the UK and
it was in PAL. And we could watch it on the viewfinder.
 But it wasn't all that perfect. I tried to explain the friend's father why
it wouldn't work, but these people are the kind who find out the hard way.
 NTSC - North American Television Standard Color
 PAL - Phase Alternate Line (in the UK, 50 frames / sec.)
 SECAM - Sequential Access Method
 I am familiar with these different video formats, all having different
frame/second rates and raster resolutions. But there's nothing to prevent a
player from playing a tape recorded with an incompatible format. It doesn't
work out all that well, but it can play the tape. :D
