hi there!

is the Sony DCR-TRV25 camcorder (european model) able to AV-DV convert both NTSC and PAL (to record via AV-in)? the descriptions on the sony pages do not clearly answer this. they only say it is able to NTSC playback.

and in case if it can also convert NTSC to DV - what kind of VCR is needed? a real american only NTSC VCR or do also work these european VCRs that are able to NTSC playback???
my VCR is the panasonic NV-FJ630EG-K, that plays NTSC tapes. therefore the TV must be ntsc-prepared. NTSC-video does not play on PAL-only TV! so it seems that the ntsc-signal is not transfered to PAL.

i want to transfer my NTSC and PAL video tapes to VCD. with the same equipment. thats all.
