Right, <br><br>Fortunately, it appears that I
panicked and am mistaken about the VCR being in colour. On
one of the websites where the video is offered (a
Swiss one) it is mentioned being B/W which I would
presume means black and white. The question about the
original film being in colour appeared to me only relevant
if the video was in B/W. Also the many B/W pictures
appeared to indicate something. A good thing that the
video is in colour.<br><br>Using a multiple system VCR
solves some of the NTSC conversion problems, but not
all. Those machines appear to come only without
special Y/C format video outputs.<br>You need such an
output for the darned NTSC if you want high quality
colours. DVD is also going to be a pain if it ever comes
out because of the "regions" that were introduced for
commercial reasons only. You can buy a "region-free" DVD
player, but I am not sure that those provide conversion
to NTSC<br><br>I have seen on the web that Kes has
been shown in a few select locations throughout the US
over the past few years. It is not completely unknown
here, apparently. <br><br><br>Anyways, this site
provides interesting information that would have been hard
to come by <br>for me in the US.
