Getting Started

|
Got a friend coming down from US and I thought I will ask him to buy me a DVD camcorder since its much cheaper in US.
Besides power 240V/120V issues, can anyone tell me if I can use it here? Will the camcorder burn in region 1 format (ie US format) and won't play in Malaysian DVD players?
Is there such thing?

Hrm, US = NTSC, Malaysia = PAL format.
Might prove to be a problem when shooting and then giving a direct feed to your television but you wouldn't be doing that too often. Once burnt onto the DVD shouldn't be a problem since most DVD players in malaysia are multi region as well.

I thought the camera allow you to choose either NTSC and PAL format in the setting ? same like digital camera!
