OFF: Converting vid formats

[Duane Hoyt]

Hello Hawkfriends,

I often see mention of problems between different vid formats, NTSC?,
and such.  I am not very knowledgable about this stuff. What I would like to
know is, what would a vid look like in the US if it were not in the correct
format?  I recieved a vid in trade that when I played, everyone looked silver.
You could tell it was HW, and it began with a rehersal, and then it switched
to an outdoor stage, and the band was having some sort of "best tits" or
wet t-shirt contest. I couldn't tell what exactly cause everyone was fuzzy and
silver. Is this a very very old, badly recorded tape or is it in the wrong
format?  Hopefully it is the latter and I can have it switched. Also does
anyone recognize this show, and if so, which one is it?
Thanks,

Duane (aka Partyboy)
