dvd players best buy canada image
Paola
Hi,
I have some foreign VHS tapes, (birthdays, baptism, wedding etc) that are Secam, and I am looking to convert them to USA version which is NTSC.
I did some research, I guess I can buy a vcr for around $200-300 but I also saw some other digital converters on amazon.
I don't mind a company that I can pay to do the conversion for me.
I would prefer to convert them straight to dvd, but if i have to convert to VHS first, that is fine with me too.
Can someone please help me out and tell me what are my options and where to buy them from.
Everything I have are USA version, Vcr, Dvd player and TV as I live in USA now. Only the tapes are foreign.
Thank you.

You have an expensive problem to solve.
Indeed, one option is a professional conversion service.
This is not cheap.
To do it yourself, you will need...
A SECAM VCR.
The output of that machine would have to be connected to
the input of an electronic format converter,
but it needs to be better than any of those you have seen on Amazon.
The output of the converter would then be connected to the input of
an NTSC VCR, DVD recorder, or capture device used with a konfuzer.
Whew!
Or...
You could get a "worldwide" VCR such as the Samsung SV-5000W
(about $1185 new, or $390 and up used, through Amazon).
>> Panasonic and one or two other manufacturers have marketed similar products.
No separate converter would be needed because the VCR does it internally.
This type of machine can feed any other video recorder
or capture device you have or can borrow.
This is the method I would use.
>> Be careful: A "multi-system" VCR absolutely DOES NOT
convert signals like a "worldwide" one does!

what does NTSC format mean when it is on a DVD description?
Frank
Some DVD products are described to be in NTSC format. Are they strictly for watching on a PC or can they be watched on a TV DVD player?
Answer
NTSC is the output format for the TV. There are three different types. NTSC is used in the US and Canada. PAL is used in large chunks of Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. SECAM is used in France and other parts of Europe. If you have a TV of the appropriate format then you can send the output to your TV. Otherwise you'll need a converter. For example, if you buy a DVD in the UK and try to play it in the US, you'll need a DVD player that does PAL to NTSC conversion.
