The only other country using NTSC would be Japan. You wouldn't be
able to use a European tape (PAL or SECAM) without a multinorm VCR&TV
or alternatively a VCR with PAL->NTSC converter. Oh yes, a PAL VCR&TV
would of course suffice too...

Basically the same applies for laserdiscs, though there aren't many
that play only PAL and I don't think there is a laserdisc player with
builtin converter. (Multinorm devices do exist.)

Ciao,

Uli
