DSE 5 #2 December 6, 2009 Yes, the header files are unique for each format. You need a computer to interface them when it's 50Hz/60Hz differences. File-based camcorders effectively require a computer for any sort of Xfer, unless it's Xferring Stick to Internal, and even then, you can't Xfer sticks from other format camcorders.

gilead1 0 #3 December 6, 2009 O.K I suspected that this is the reason but it was only a guess, now it is clear thanks Gilead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ParaShoot 0 #4 December 7, 2009 The PAL and NTSC memory cards are identical. If you want to use a previous used PAL card in a NTSC camera you first have to format the card again in the camera. Of course for NTSC the other way around. Grtzz, Henny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #5 December 7, 2009 The CARDS are identical. The header files found on the cards are not. NTSC carries one subflag, and PAL carries another subflag. Additionally, the geoflag is set in PAL whereas NTSC has no flag attached (in the CX100) at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
