Johnson Ching reports that you can freely read and write PAL or NTSC tapes on either a TRV900 (NTSC) or TRV900e (PAL) camera through the firewire. Here is a letter from Jerome Maro explaining the situation: What I understand about how those cameras are working is the following (tested with a PAL TRV900 and also a PC-1 (also PC-100, tnks James)).

The connections and leads supplied with our DVC products are the same kind of leads supplied with a lot of standard analogue camcorders. Video is recorded digitally on to the tape but then converted back to an analogue video signal when connected to your TV and VCR. With regard to your VCR, these analogue outputs can be recorded to VHS tape. See similar questions...

There are two basic formats of television signal. In the UK and Europe (and Japan) the standard is called 'PAL', yet in America the standard format is 'NTSC'. DVD discs can be encoded in either of these two formats, and this should not be confused with Region Coding as this is something completely different. In almost all cases, NTSC discs can be played within the UK and Europe without any problems. See similar questions...

NTSC and PAL are two different video standards used by countries around the World, and the two standards reflect how many horizontal lines run across a TV set to comprise the video picture. A VHS tape, DVD, or TV is either NTSC or PAL. The United States, Canada, and Japan use NTSC. Britain and many European countries use PAL. Unfortunately, the two are not interchangeable. So for example, if you got a PAL tape from your cousin in England, it would not work on your VCR and TV. See similar questions...
