HELP

Does anyone know where I can get a VCR which plays UK PAL videos? I bought one here but my videos don't work.

Apparently Canadian/US VHS is different to the UK VHS

In the US and Canada VCRs use NTSC for recording and NTSC tapes. UK and most of Europe (bloomin French) use PAL. It's possible to find a PAL VCR in the UK that also plays NTSC but outputs in PAL. It should be possible to find a VCR in Canada that outputs standard NTSC to the TV but also converts and reads PAL tapes. I've never looked for one as I've not used a VCR for about 4 years, but they should exist.

Hi there,

Just joined and posted stuff for sale. Then I saw your query. I have a bunch of stuff for sale, just look on the forums for the PAL format goods on offer; I need to sell in order to want to buy new football and rugby jerseys!

Regards

Peter
