Right, but you still need a multi-standard VCR to play the tape. You just don't need a converter to change it to NTSC. I'm actually a little surprised that you can still get multi-standard VCRs without converters these days. When the VCR/Converter units came down to about $399 (Samsung 5000 at 220-Electronics.com/International Video)it sort of obviated the economic incentive to get just the multi-standard players without converters.
