International VHS Formats
All of the videos sold by All About Movies are in the PAL format. This is the video format used in Australia, UK, Europe, China, and parts of the Middle East. This format will not work on most videocassette players in other countries that use NTSC . This includes America & Canada unless the player you have plays both PAL as well as NTSC.
