- Not a wrong format, as viewed from the French point-of-view. But, it was

-
- <1b. If so, any ideas how to tell what format it was shot in?
-
- Ya, PAL (see 1a).
-
- <2. If the answer to 1a is yes, what is the prognosis. Can the

- There are conversion houses in the Chicago area. Check out the yellow pages.
