Keep in mind that Apple ]['s and their clones (though the laser is radically
different under the hood) don't put out a true NTSC signal.  They were
designed when crystals were expensive, so the original apple based all of
it's clocks on divisions and subdivisions of ONE crystal.

For that reason, the signal is usually a little skewed from proper NTSC.
While not a problem for most televisions, some VCRs and more arcane video
equipment (such as camcorders displays or goggles) may have trouble with it.
