screams in the void: I can confirm that the colors are much more lifelike in the transmission of PAL recordings than their NTSC counterparts. The same can be said for the even rarer SECAM recordings. NTSC, perhaps, does not withstand multi-generational losses as well as most PAL standard recordings. There are plenty of examples of these on YT.
Check it Hungarian Christmas day 1984 premiere colors. 😃
ps: The only drawback is the SECAM noise band, due to the 2nd generation copy.
