Oh Ok Anny,

I had not looked that closely but I thought that it would not hurt to repeat
the warning. I sent Yuccy some videos recently that I had taped off the tv
of the Onedin Line with Mike B. unfortunately they came out as PAL. So she
can't play them:-( this only served to make me more aware of the problem.

So I would say if the description on Ebay does not say what format then
check with the seller!
