Default Re: TV system differences?

No SCART was nothing to do with that. Recording secam is much simple than PAL as jitter on playback did not affect the colour. French VCRs simply filtered off the colour and divided the frequency by 4 to record and multiplied it by 4 on playback. By the time computers came along French TVs could decode both PAL and secam as they worked by transcoding secam to PAL and then decoding that.
