Hi, here's a question... Can I play a video I buy from an American ebayer on my European videorecorder or not? I was thinking that as long as both are VHS I should be ok... Or am I to optimistic? |

Hi.
I would sat you are too pissimistic.
If your VHS is European i.e. PAL and your VCR is PAL there will be no problem. Most European VCR can palyback American (NTSC) VHS and some can record. In case you have PAL/NTSC problem you will most likely get B&W picture

If they have a multi-system VCR it will play. |

What about the opposite? I have a PAL tape, with a NTSC vcr and tv. Will I be able to watch the pal tape? |

I am in the same boat as kate lily. I have a PAL vhs tape which I really, really need to watch here in USA. Is there somewhere I can have it copied onto the "right" format?

I used my camrecorder (Bought in the UK) to make a Video for my family in America... The Video is in a Mini DV Casette...
My question is: Will they be able to watch it using an american VHS or DVD pLAVER??

If the camcorder is PAL, no. |
