US/ vs. European audio cassettes
-
Just a quick question: My girlfriend is in the process of ordering some good ol' audio cassete tapes from Amazon - she has previously ordered some video tapes, which did not work during to the difference between PAL and NTSC formats. Now, is it the same with audio cassettes, or can US tapes be played in european cassette decks without problems? Christian Skovdal Andersen Don't mention the war...

Tapes are fine. Do you still have the tapes ? Most VCR's nowadays play both PAL and NTSC, you should have little trouble finding someone with a world player VCR if your home format is PAL. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

No such problems with audio tapes. I've tried both. :beer:

Well, she still have the tapes, and we are looking for a VCR that will play both formats. However I feel quite stupid buying a new VCR these days. Anyway, I'm not too much in a hurry finding a VCR that will play the tapes - it is work-out tapes - and that Jane Fonda chick has a voice that will cut a coala in half!

There's no country-specific audio tape format. They work fine in any country. That being said, you should consider buying a CD instead of a cassette tape, if the music is available on both media. /ravi Let's put "civil" back in "civilization" http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com
