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.

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! 2/3/2006 2:33:56 PM |
