Default Converting video tapes from UK to US format...

Hi Folks,
I got married recently, and we had a British video camera at our wedding. We can't watch the film here- and planned to send it back anyway, but I would like to get it converted to US format so we have a copy we can watch here. Does anyone know where we can get it converted? I'm in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) but can mail the tape anywhere. It's one of those small ones that fits in a bigger case which then goes into the vcr, by the way...
Many thanks,
Paul.

Look on the internet for tape conversion services. The other option is to use a British VCR and a converter so that you can make yourself a copy.


British VCR (play)
V
Converter set to PAL > NTSC
V
American VCR (record)

Or you could buy a dual play VCR. My husband and I have an extensive video collection that he refuses to leave behind so we'll be getting something simmilar to this : http://www.dvdoverseas.com/converter_vcrs.htm
