I've read that there are recorders capable of recording PAL and NTSC. I've got a Samsung MultiSystem VCR that plays NTSC, PAL, and SECAM tapes and was wondering if I got a recorder that could record PAL and set the Samsung to PAL output, would one of those recorders actually do a PAL recording?

The old Philips machines used to record PAL and NTSC (via the RCA/Cinch connectors - and I think it worked with S-video too)....but that was quite a few years ago. Not many DVD recorders actually "advertise" the fact that their machine records both....most of us found out by trial and error....like I did with my old Philips DVDR985...that still works by the way....just don't record much to DVDR anymore.
Somebody else will chime in soon with a newer model that records both I'm sure.

WI has many DVDRs that record in NTSC and PAL. Some even convert from one to the other on the fly.

I almost bought one of those Philips 985s used last year until I started reading old posts. Count yourself lucky yours is still working

My Pioneer does it, so long as you tell it what the input system will be. Even does PAL60.

Places like Import World can be and often are a HUGE RIPOFF too. Charging extra
money for applying a simple do-it-yourself region hack and exchanging a power plug on a unit
that is already set up from the factory to accept 110V through 220V is the stuff of moronic legend.
