Name??

I don't know the name, but it is basically a toy.
It records in Mpeg-4 which is highly compressed and really only suitable for the web. It would not look good on your tv.
Look for a mini-dv camcorder, dvd camcorder, or even a hard drive camcorder. They are all much better quality.

NTSC or PAL does it matter?

>>>And does NTSC or PAL matter? (currently in Canada)

Yep it does matter

If you're in Cananda and this video provides a cable for hooking it up to your Television then it needs to be NTSC to work in Canada.
If you are only going to transfer the file to your computer and then burn it to DVD then it doesn't matter.
