Thread: That'll teach me!!

I think you can get a converter which sits on top of your video played, from Dick Smith stores.
I have one but I bought it second hand a long time ago and no it is not for sale. I would not be able to watch the basketball.

Yes they can be converted from NTSC to PAL but you will need to find a studio that does it. There are a few around in Vic. I suggest you get the Yellow Pages and let your fingers do the walking. Look under Video Production &/or Duplication, there should be plenty. But be warned. The conversion will probably cost almost as much as the original.

There's a few options:
I looked into it and there's someone here ( Dubbo) who'll do it for $30 a video.

I could also buy a NTSC PB machine for $250!!

The videos would have cost me $55 here to buy. I paid $16.95 US plus postage ( $70US for 3 vids and 3 books, one of which I know costs $60 here but only $19.95 US. So I still think I came out well in front.

Of all these options I think the new machines the way I'll end up going. Most new players will play NTSC. It'll depend on whether or not I end up buying more videos.

Most newish VCRs will play NTSC as well as PAL and Secam, I know ours does. Check your model with a service agent or look for a toggle switch somewhere. Otherwise find a mate with a fairly new machine.
