- I have a 19-minute videotape made here in the USA that I need to convert or
- copy to a format that can be viewed on the average VCR in the UK.
-
- The friend in England to whom I want to send the video footage tried to look
- into it, and found that although both countries use VHS, the systems are quite
- different. USA has 425 lines while Europe, Australia, and the UK have 625 lines. Therefore there may be some technical difficulty in converting or
- transferring images.
-
- This is not terribly important to anyone but my friend, her husband, and myself
- (family pictures, so to speak) so it would be hard to justify spending a lot of
- money on it.
-
- I would be grateful to know if anyone out there has had any luck doing this
- sort of thing, and if so, how.
-
- If anyone else is interested I will be glad to collect/summarize replies.
-
- Thanks in advance, and cheerio,
