UK Pal VCR that outputs NTSC not Pal60?

[Deaks]

Anyone know of one? I've heard there are UK VCRs out there that are switchable? If I can find one it would solve a lot of my NTSC capturing problems!

cheapest way is to buy a NTSC VCR.Dual ones come from Samsung and are quite expensive (around 600€).Another way would be to buy a norm/format converter (they start from 200€).

Getting a US vcr is a good idea, and probly easier in the long run.

What voltages do they take? UK stuff generally works on anything from 110 to 240 VAC.

I'm sure the power supply on a US VCR would need converting for UK use. Some UK Sony's give you the option of pure NTSC...

I did get an American VCR in New York City once years ago and now gone due defects unrepairable.

I now use an Australian multi-system VCR and in fact viewed an NTSC VHS movie the other night using a Televideo. This is a TV with a VCR built-in one unit and this one plays NTSC tapes and also receives external NTSC signals from a DVD player.

In the UK, how about multi-system VCR? Can you get one? If you can, then look around for one in your home country and forget the US VCR.

I've got no problem with NTSC output signal and I don't need to have it converted to my local Australian PAL TV signal.
