Like a dumbass I bought 3 VHS tapes from ebay that are uk pal. I have not recieved them yet so I don't know if they will play on my VCR. If not, can anyone convert them to NTSC? PM me if you can and prices.


Thanks

not sure if vcr will play but ive had both ntsc and pal play on the same tv with no problems

depending on how important these tapes are to you, you could always get a multi-region player. Around $40.

Thanks for the help guys. I might just get them and see what happens. I only spent 13 bucks on 3 VHS tapes, so its not a huge loss. Hell the tapes only cost 2 bucks, it was the 11 bucks in shipping that got me!

Haha, why are you buying VHS tapes?

2/3/2006 2:58:27 PM

^

Because it's a very specific set of videos I wanted that is not available on DVD.

^^^^change teh query to PAL VCR and the first hit is a multiregion VHS casette player

BOOYA
