Never given it much thought until recently.
The UK uses PAL, whereas places like the USA use NTSC.
With today's PC monitors and HD TVs, does it really matter which we chose, as they all play both formats?
I ask because I recorded a very small video of my son's nativity, and when I got home discovered it was in NTSC not PAL (but it played fine on my laptop anyway).
I suppose if you were transferring it to old skool video tape, or wanting to play it on an old style TV, then it would make a difference, but otherwise?
