You know, you say that, and it makes sense, and then you order Sony Digital Betacam tapes and they come in two different flavors: NTSC and PAL. Weirdest thing, we were all scratching our heads over that one. Shot segments for an infomercial for Chinese television and they were shooting PAL DigiBeta, and the tapes we ordered said PAL on 'em. Nobody knew what to make of it; surely there's not a difference in any possible way, right?

Must have been just a model # marker for determining what territory the product gets sold in, but it was kind of funny to have PAL tape...
