if a friend send me a webcam from the US, would it be
compatible to my pc which i bought from the UK? it's
toshiba satellite A20-S103D. i was told it might not be,
similar to a PALS and NTSC system in vcr and tv.
 
it should be. i've used US webcams on computers not made
in the US before. PAL, NTSC etc. come into consideration
when you start thinking about tuner cards and video
outputs to TVs and VCRs, not for a USB or serial port with
a webcam.

hope this helps.

Yes, Jon is correct you should not worry about PAL, SECAM or NTSC. These are
seperate issues. Webcam is using its own software to display images on your
monitor wtihout using video tuner cards. I just send one Webcam to Ethiopia
and worked fine. Their TV system is PAL over there.
