Problem with this is that said converter boxes are expensive so by the time you buy the multi-system VHS VCR and the converter box. So if you buy one of the non-converter type multi-system VHS VCR units you can plug the output into a converter box that will convert it to NTSC. There are video convert boxes that exist that will do conversion. Generally speaking such a service should cost you no more than $20 - $30 US Dollars per video tape. Many places on-line offer this and you may even find a local place that does it if you look in the yellow pages under VIDEO SERVICES etc. If you only have like one or two tapes and don't expect getting any more then you might want to just ship the tape off to a place that does conversion. The other option is to convert to NTSC on a computer BUT that can be very complicated to do just right. you can make a PAL DVD and play it back on a DVD player that does PAL to NTSC on-the-fly of which there are big enough (some very inexpensive) choices. Now at this point you have yet another option. So what do you do?ġ.) Record to a stand alone DVD recorder that can record PALĢ.) Record to a computer capture device that can capture in PAL they will only output PAL when playing back a PAL VHS video tape.

they have a 6-Head Hi-Fi Stereo SONY for $179.00

they have a 6-Head Hi-Fi Stereo PANASONCI for $239.99. For instance has a 6-Head Hi-Fi Stereo SHARP for $239.99. You can get away much cheaper with the non-converting type of multi-system VHS VCR. Easy-to-use and from my understanding the quality is very good. Pop in a PAL VHS video tape and it will output PAL or NTSC as per your selection. Supposedly it is very hard to find these days but currently claim that they have it in stock at $469.00 US Dollars + shipping. The Samsung SV-5000 is a multi-system VHS VCR that does conversion. However there is one in particular that I am fond of because I know they are reliable and cheap: Īnother site that seems popular and from which I've purchased from myself: Just do a google search for "multisystem" or "multi-system" etc. There are several on-line websites that sell such equipment. which pretty much means you are "stuck" with buying a non-conversion model. The problem here is that the type that do the conversion are very expensive and the one that was most popular is now very hard if not impossible to find.

in other words play a PAL VHS video tape and you can get a PAL video signal on output or a NTSC video signal on output. in other words play a PAL VHS video tape and get a PAL video signal on output. You can buy a special VHS VCR that can play both NTSC VHS and PAL VHS but the choice is this: most models are made to output only what they are playing. First of all you need a VHS VCR that can actually play back the PAL VHS video tape that you have.
