PAL-M in Brazil
Does anyone know whether a VHS tape made in Spain (PAL B/G) can be played in Brazil (PAL M)? Any idea what these differences mean?
Thanks! |

No. The frame rate is different.
Brazil's PAL is basically NTSC. It is much easier to convert NTSC to Brazil's 60 fields per second PAL via a multi-system VCR---but I'm not even sure if you'd have to convert (from NTSC to Brazil's PAL). With "normal" PAL to Brazil's, you do have to convert---unless it's a multi-system TV or M.S. VCR is used. |

Thanks Frank!
I should have asked this immediately, but do Argentinia, Paraguay and Urugay (PAL N) also have 60 fields p/s? Why do they call these systems PAL? |

As far as I know, only Brazil has this funny PAL system, where NTSC cams are actually used.

It looks like PAL-M is an NTSC signal on a PAL frequency.
